Overview

Empirical research examines guided inquiry's effects on experimental design and content knowledge in Hungarian pupils, revealing small improvements.

Key Points

  • The intervention had a small positive effect on experimental design skills in Group 3, with Cohen's d of 0.16.
  • Disciplinary content knowledge experienced a slight decline, with Cohen's d of -0.07 for Group 2 and -0.19 for Group 3.
  • Group 3 designed experiments using guided inquiry, while Groups 1 and 2 followed step-by-step instructions.
  • A total of 603 pupils' skills were assessed over three school years, highlighting the importance of experimental education.
