Experimental inquiry in introductory physics courses

Abstract

Physics teacher educators following national science teacher preparation guidelines will both employ and promote the use of experimental inquiry during instruction. In order for in-service physics teachers to use this form of scientific inquiry appropriately, it is important that they possess a basic understanding of the content, nature, and history of science. Indeed, it is imperative for physics teacher educators and their teacher candidates to have a thorough understanding of experimental inquiry so that they come to value it, are more likely to practice it properly, and understand how to help students achieve a higher degree of scientifically literacy.
