Book Description

"This book makes a distinct contribution with its completeness of coverage, easy-to-read style, and abundance of practical examples. Its suggestions are obviously based upon a wealth of personal experience, not just ‘book knowledge.’ The author is to be commended for writing a book aimed at practitioners, not theorists; it is sorely needed."
Diane M. Holben, Coordinator of Academic Services
Saucon Valley High School
Hellertown, PA

"As a science teacher, I can easily identify with the effective examples and activities presented, and see the potential connections to my own classroom. It offers a comprehensive approach to planning and developing constructivist mode educational practices and addresses a need within the educational community by being written in a user-friendly format without jargon or cliché style terms."

Tips and tools to harness the power of students’ curiosity and improve achievement in science!

The American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Research Council, and the National Science Teachers Association all assert the importance of inquiry-based instruction as a central strategy for teaching science. In this informative guide, Douglas Llewellyn, a leading expert in the field of inquiry-based learning, draws upon personal experience, current research, and best practices to provide clear-cut insights with practical suggestions on how to develop teaching competencies and strategies, implementing inquiry as called for by the national standards.

Written for conscientious educators seeking to cultivate science learners’ sense of discovery and critical thinking skills, Inquire Within offers enlightening guidelines and information. Practitioners at every level—including elementary and secondary science teachers, principals, science department heads, staff development planners, curriculum supervisors, and college professors—will benefit from this comprehensive guide to inquiry-based learning.

Customer Reviews:

An outstanding resource for teachers.......2004-06-29

There are a plethora of books out about inquiry, the hot new buzzword in science education. This one has real substance. As a scientist, I think Llewellyn captures the true nature of science inquiry. As a teacher and professional developer, I especially like the self-assessments and rubrics to help make the transition from traditional practice to inquiry-based practice in the classroom. I use it so often that I keep losing it because I am always lending it to someone. This book will be useful to anyone who teaches science and wants to reach more kids more effectively.

"Llewellyn has included several clear comparisons of the inquiry method to what is currently happening in classrooms, as well as many examples from each level of teaching. The books’ well-organized material will be informative for both experienced teachers and student teachers just starting out."

In this second edition, science educator Douglas Llewellyn combines clear-cut insights with practical suggestions for developing teaching competencies and strategies to implement inquiry-based instruction—a teaching strategy strongly endorsed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Research Council, and the National Science Teachers Association.

Aligned with NSES standards and written for educators seeking to cultivate learners' sense of discovery and critical thinking skills, Inquire Within, Second Edition, focuses on showing teachers how to implement inquiry activities using the three "R's"—restructuring, retooling, and reculturing. The author provides examples that match common curricular objectives and demonstrates how teachers can modify current lesson plans rather than creating new ones.

Offering ready-to-use inquiry lessons and teacher-friendly materials for students in grades 3–8, this edition’s updates include:

Three aspects of inquiry—promoting content knowledge, science process skills, and positive attitudes or dispositions
A new chapter of suggested investigations with teacher notes
Strategies for using inquiry methods with English Language Learners and special education students
Activities that incorporate technology

This comprehensive guide is an invaluable resource for practitioners at every level—including elementary and middle school science teachers, principals, science teacher leaders and specialists, staff development planners, curriculum supervisors, and college professors.
