CHED 835 |
| Living by Chemistry (LBC) is a high school chemistry curriculum project that uses guided inquiry, among other techniques, to teach chemistry. In addition to investigating the mechanics of the implementation, the change in the role of the instructor as well as the classroom environment were identified. Student response to the curriculum and the guided-inquiry format were documented. Data sources included written evaluations of the lessons from the teachers, classroom observations, and focus groups of both teachers and students. Teacher's views on inquiry before and after the implementation of the curriculum will be presented as well as student's reflections on learning through guided inquiry and its perceived effect on their achievement. |
