This study presents the outcomes of an inquiry-based approach applied to science education in the second-grade class II B at "Zanibon" primary school in Padua. The 18 children in the class, engaged in three cycles of investigation, they focused mainly on the collection and interpretation of data regarding the states of water aggregation. Initial and final questionnaires, raw individual data, group scientific data, peer tutoring evaluation rubrics, and self-assessments were examined. The results obtained suggest that inquiry-based learning helps children in gathering scientific data and in enhancing their enjoyment of science lessons.
Il presente lavoro espone gli esiti di un approccio inquiry-based applicato alla didattica scientifica nella classe II B della scuola primaria “Zanibon” di Padova. I 18 bambini della classe, coinvolti in tre cicli di indagine, si sono impegnati, in particolare, nella fase di raccolta ed interpretazione di dati in merito agli stati di aggregazione dell’acqua. Sono stati, quindi, esaminati questionari iniziali e finali, dati grezzi ed individuali e dati scientifici di gruppo, rubriche valutative di peer tutoring ed autovalutazioni. I risultati ottenuti suggeriscono che l’inquiry-based learning sia funzionale alla motivazione dell’apprendimento scientifico e nel supporto della raccolta di dati scientifici da parte dei bambini.

Abstract
This study presents the outcomes of an inquiry-based approach applied to science education in the second-grade class II B at "Zanibon" primary school in Padua. The 18 children in the class, engaged in three cycles of investigation, they focused mainly on the collection and interpretation of data regarding the states of water aggregation. Initial and final questionnaires, raw individual data, group scientific data, peer tutoring evaluation rubrics, and self-assessments were examined. The results obtained suggest that inquiry-based learning helps children in gathering scientific data and in enhancing their enjoyment of science lessons.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
