Abstrakt
This paper focuses on the implementation of inquiry-based science education (IBSE). The goal of this brief study is to contribute to experience sharing regarding IBSE (specifically investigation of water).
From the methodological point of view, the qualitative approach was chosen. This study shows that all participants can benefit from the possibility of choosing from different types of IBSE.
We recommend to the participants in IBSE activities to start with a structured or confirmation inquiry and afterwards to continue with a guided or open inquiry.
