Description

We report the results of an action-research activity conducted in the framework of the in-service teacher training programme CoLLABORA, developed at the University of Padova between 2018 and 2020. During the programme, teachers were encouraged to identify a problem relevant to their context and to formulate a research question as a guide for the design of new laboratory activities. Here we present the results of an experimentation in which the teacher aimed to verify whether an inquiry-based approach could enhance the involvement of students and make their knowledge more durable compared to traditional laboratory activities.
