  1. The Effect of Guided Inquiry Laboratory on Conceptual Understanding Miha Lee California State University, Northridge

  2. Rationale => Teaching for conceptual understanding • To secure the unique role of school instruction • To incorporate school experiments effectively into science instruction

  3. Importance of Study • The theory of conceptual change suggests problems with students’ preconceptions, but doesn’t show the way to teach for conceptual understanding. • The theory of inquiry usually focus on promoting the ability to solve problems not the conceptual understanding. • This study tried to put two theories into one practice.

  4. How do inquiry-based laboratory activities affect students’ conceptual understanding? RESEARCH QUESTION

  5. Two Research Questions • How did the students’ concept of metal evolve through guided inquiry-based laboratory activities? • What were the strengths and limitations of the inquiry based laboratory for conceptual understanding?

  6. Theory of Conceptual change Method of Inquiry Laboratory LITERATURE REVIEW

  7. Literature Review 1Theory of Conceptual Change • The importance of prior knowledge in CC => Driver, Taber • The classical conceptual change theory => Posner & Strike, Hewson, Chin & Brewer, Chan, Burtis & Bereiter • The new approach to conceptual change => diSessa

  8. Literature Review 2Method of Inquiry • The importance of school experiment => Hofstein & Lunetta • The importance of inquiry => NRC 2000 • Guided inquiry as integration of lab and inquiry => Mayer, Domin • Laboratory for conceptual change => Minstrell, Lawson
