Book synopsis

Introducing students to scientific inquiry has been§shown to enhance both critical thinking skills and§engagement in the learning process. Yet bringing§novel teaching strategies into the classroom also§requires assessment of their effectiveness for§student learning. This book presents a formative§case study evaluation of chemistry laboratory courses§which are structured with both traditional expository§lab exercises and cooperative inquiry projects. §Focusing on student perceptions of these courses,§this study illustrates how these two teaching§practices impact student learning both academically§and affectively. Along with a detailed presentation§of the quantitative and qualitative research§methodologies, this book includes an historical§overview of theory and practice in laboratory§teaching, as well as a philosophical discussion of§how the findings offer a bridge between the idea of§constructivism as an epistemology, and the use of§cooperative inquiry as a pedagogy. Researchers and§practitioners of science education will find valuable§insights into the process of bringing positive change§to learning in the laboratory.
