| Target Inquiry (TI) at Grand Valley State University is an innovative professional development and graduate program for chemistry teachers designed to impact the quality and frequency of inquiry teaching. Following a laboratory research experience, teachers in the TI program were interviewed and asked to create a model to represent scientific inquiry. Data indicated a variety of models and conceptions about the processes of science. To determine how conceptions of scientific inquiry change over time and how students, scientists, and teachers represent the process of science differently, eight chemistry majors and five chemistry faculty were interviewed. Participants were asked to create models to represent the processes of scientific inquiry and explain them. Participants also compared their models with other existing models, including Harwood's Activity Model. Findings will be presented. |
