Guided inquiry in school science
This mini review asks how to orchestrate guidance, assessment, and student agency so that inquiry reliably yields durable understanding and inclusion, moving beyond the inquiry vs. direct instruction debate. It draws on twenty-six peer-reviewed studies from 2017 to 2025 spanning classroom interventions, video studies, large-scale secondary analysis, discipline-specific and teacher-education reviews, flipped and other technology-mediated inquiries…
