With the push for more student-centered, inquiry-based instruction in the forefront of science education, especially with the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS), it is important to understand how inquiry-based instruction in chemistry affects students and teachers alike. Chemistry is important in the field of science because it is central to understanding all of the branches of science (Brown & Lemay, 1977). Since chemistry was first introduced into the secondary classroom, little has changed with the instructional practices since the early 19th century (Cooper, 2010; Johnstone, 2009; Shepard & Robbins, 2005). The National Science Foundation (1996) and the Next Generation Science Standards (2013) as well as numerous researchers want to move away from lecture-type learning and cookbook-type labs to a place of inquiry-based teaching and learning. This study explored how a teacher's attitude of chemistry is related to the use of inquiry-based instruction. This study was designed to provide insight on the experience of a chemistry teacher and explore factors that affect a high school chemistry teacher's willingness and ability to use the inquiry-based approach to instruction in their classroom. The results were similar to that of a Cheung (2009) study of chemistry teachers in Hong Kong. Teachers reported that time, resources, and professional development were important when deciding whether or not to use the 5E model of inquiry-based instruction. Teachers self-assessed their practice and were placed into groups of high, medium, or low inquiry-based teachers based on their self-assessment. Students were asked questions about their attitude toward chemistry. The student's score on the attitude survey and the teacher's level of inquiry-based instruction were not found to have statically significant relationship. However, the student's attitude toward chemistry provided insight to how a secondary student views chemistry instruction. Teachers must become comfortable with this method of teaching chemistry and understand that the old model of lecturing in chemistry is not the model needed to enhance chemistry instruction. With the push to inquiry-based science instruction from the NGSS, it is important now more than ever to understand inquiry-based instruction in chemistry.

In recent times, good science teaching and learning have been increasingly assoc iated with the term inquiry. With advances in cognitive research and developmental psy chology, inquiry has been placed at the core of science teaching and learning. Building o n John Dewey's premise that students need to be engaged in a quest for learning and new knowledge, and Piaget's statement that, "Experience is always necessary for inte llectual development (therefore) the subject should be active", educators have focused on involving students in inquiry experiences that put them at the center of the teaching lear ning process. At the present time, an inquiry focus is at the core of most curricula worldwide . Yet the encouraging and promising presence of inquiry in science curricula, the fiel d remains somewhat uninformed about the challenges of implementing inquiry science program s across a range of classroom settings. Given the lack of teacher preparation and informa tion about inquiry- based teaching, inquiry- based printed materials, are essential for exp osing students to the epistemology of science. However, many textbooks do not reflect the core att ributes of authentic scientific methodology, and do not emphasize inquiry skills. Inquiry a ctivities are for many school students, the only means by which they will be exposed to the mo dus operandi of authentic science. Consequently, the purpose of this project is to d evelop a manual of inquiry- based activities for Grade 8 students based on topics present ed in the Lebanese chemistry curriculum. In addition to the activities, the manual will in clude a theoretical discussion of inquiry, and detailed explanations of different inquir y- based strategies. Inquiry approaches that will be used in the manual will include disc repant events, learning cycle, and guided inquiry.

Teaching Chemistry can be used in courses focusing on training for secondary school teachers in chemistry. The author, who has been actively involved in the development of a new chemistry curriculum in The Netherlands and is currently chair of the Committee on Chemistry Education of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, offers an overview of the existing learning models and gives practical recommendations how to implement innovating strategies and methods of teaching chemistry at different levels. It starts at the beginner level, with students that have had no experience in secondary schools as a teacher. After a solid background in the theory of learning practical guidance is provided helping teachers develop skills and practices focused on the learning process within their classrooms. In the fi nal chapter information is given about the way teachers can professionalize further in their teaching career. Addresses innovative teaching methods and strategies. Includes a section of practical examples and exercises in the end of each chapter. Written by one of the top experts in chemistry education. Jan Apotheker taught chemistry for 25 years at the Praedinius Gymnasium, Groningen. In 1998 he became a lecturer in chemistry education at the University of Groningen, retired in 2016.

This book focuses on developing and updating prospective and practicing chemistry teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge. The 11 chapters of the book discuss the most essential theories from general and science education, and in the second part of each of the chapters apply the theory to examples from the chemistry classroom. Key sentences, tasks for self-assessment, and suggestions for further reading are also included. The book is focused on many different issues a teacher of chemistry is concerned with. The chapters provide contemporary discussions of the chemistry curriculum, objectives and assessment, motivation, learning difficulties, linguistic issues, practical work, student active pedagogies, ICT, informal learning, continuous professional development, and teaching chemistry in developing environments. This book, with contributions from many of the world’s top experts in chemistry education, is a major publication offering something that has not previously been available. Within this single volume, chemistry teachers, teacher educators, and prospective teachers will find information and advice relating to key issues in teaching (such as the curriculum, assessment and so forth), but contextualised in terms of the specifics of teaching and learning of chemistry, and drawing upon the extensive research in the field. Moreover, the book is written in a scholarly style with extensive citations to the literature, thus providing an excellent starting point for teachers and research students undertaking scholarly studies in chemistry education; whilst, at the same time, offering insight and practical advice to support the planning of effective chemistry teaching. This book should be considered essential reading for those preparing for chemistry teaching, and will be an important addition to the libraries of all concerned with chemical education. Dr Keith S. Taber (University of Cambridge; Editor: Chemistry Education Research and Practice) The highly regarded collection of authors in this book fills a critical void by providing an essential resource for teachers of chemistry to enhance pedagogical content knowledge for teaching modern chemistry. Through clever orchestration of examples and theory, and with carefully framed guiding questions, the book equips teachers to act on the relevance of essential chemistry knowledge to navigate such challenges as context, motivation to learn, thinking, activity, language, assessment, and maintaining professional expertise. If you are a secondary or post-secondary teacher of chemistry, this book will quickly become a favorite well-thumbed resource! Professor Hannah Sevian (University of Massachusetts Boston)

This book is aimed at chemistry teachers, teacher educators, chemistry education researchers, and all those who are interested in increasing the relevance of chemistry teaching and learning as well as students' perception of it. The book consists of 20 chapters. Each chapter focuses on a certain issue related to the relevance of chemistry education. These chapters are based on a recently suggested model of the relevance of science education, encompassing individual, societal, and vocational relevance, its present and future implications, as well as its intrinsic and extrinsic aspects. “Two highly distinguished chemical educators, Ingo Eilks and AviHofstein, have brought together 40 internationally renowned colleagues from 16 countries to offer an authoritative view of chemistry teaching today. Between them, the authors, in 20 chapters, give an exceptional description of the current state of chemical education and signpost the future in both research and in the classroom. There is special emphasis on the many attempts to enthuse students with an understanding of the central science, chemistry, which will be helped by having an appreciation of the role of the science in today’s world. Themes which transcend all education such as collaborative work, communication skills, attitudes, inquiry learning and teaching, and problem solving are covered in detail and used in the context of teaching modern chemistry. The book is divided into four parts which describe the individual, the societal, the vocational and economic, and the non-formal dimensions and the editors bring all the disparate leads into a coherent narrative, that will be highly satisfying to experienced and new researchers and to teachers with the daunting task of teaching such an intellectually demanding subject. Just a brief glance at the index and the references will convince anyone interested in chemical education that this book is well worth studying; it is scholarly and readable and has tackled the most important issues in chemical education today and in the foreseeable future.” – Professor David Waddington, Emeritus Professor in Chemistry Education, University of York, United Kingdom

The notion of Inquiry is often difficult for a science teacher to get a handle on. What is it exactly? And how can a teacher perform an inquiry lesson? This book begins by exploring this concept, then challenges the reader in an unconventional manner to take a stand about how they teach science. Step by step instructions are given to help the novice as well as the experienced middle and high school teacher to effectively conduct inquiry lessons. This book is linked to over six hours of video - providing teachers with model inquiry lessons in biology, chemistry, physics and earth science. Additionally, video-based evaluative guidelines are included to help teachers reflect on their instruction and improve how they conduct inquiry lessons. Coupling a clearly articulated process of doing inquiry, with video and self-assessment, science teachers will be empowered to take their instruction to the next level, and by so doing facilitate their students' understanding of science.

Students often think of science as disconnected pieces of information rather than a narrative that challenges their thinking, requires them to develop evidence-based explanations for the phenomena under investigation, and communicate their ideas in discipline-specific language as to why certain solutions to a problem work. The author provides teachers in primary and junior secondary school with different evidence-based strategies they can use to teach inquiry science in their classrooms. The research and theoretical perspectives that underpin the strategies are discussed as are examples of how different ones areimplemented in science classrooms to affect student engagement and learning. Key Features: Presents processes involved in teaching inquiry-based science Discusses importance of multi-modal representations in teaching inquiry based-science Covers ways to develop scientifically literacy Uses the Structure of Observed learning Outcomes (SOLO) Taxonomy to assess student reasoning, problem-solving and learning Presents ways to promote scientific discourse, including teacher-student interactions, student-student interactions, and meta-cognitive thinking
