Data of quasi-experiment

We designed a series of inquiry activities with the support of scaffolding, and we investigated their impact on the development of selected inquiry skills among pupils. We carried out the research on 416 pupils of different primary schools who participated in a quasi-experiment. Pupils in the experimental group conducted biology inquiry activities with the support of scaffolding aimed at developing selected inquiry skills. The research also included self-assessment cards, in which pupils had to assess their level of acquired inquiry skills. Pupils in the control group were taught these topics in traditional way including practical activities based on the "cookbook" approach.
