The rationale, design, and implementation of a web-based inquiry learning environment

Year: 2007

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: It is reported that, without appropriate support, students might face several difficulties when engaging in highlevel \nreasoning in science. This paper discusses the design of a software-based tool to support students’ inquiry. \nThis scaffolding is provided through the use of STOCHASMOS, a web-based platform designed to support \nteachers’ authoring of inquiry-based learning environments and students’ reflective inquiry practices. In this \npaper, we present the theoretical background supporting the development of STOCHASMOS, present the \nplatform and discuss findings from a classroom study. The results have wider implications for the design of webbased \nlearning environments and for the role of self- and group-reflections in facilitating inquiry processes with \nscientific data.
