Abstrakt

Reading, interpreting, and constructing graphs is an important skill in scientific work and an important part of scientific literacy. This competence is gradually developed in several subjects at primary schools. Many studies show that the inductive approach and integrative themes in the IBSE allow for a greater development of scientific skills than in the traditional way of teaching. The article deals with research on the influence of Inquiry-based science education on the pupils’ skills of interpretation of data presented in graphic form and on the skills of creating graphs. In our research, we examined whether the systematic implementation of appropriate enquired tasks into the biology and geography teaching process affects the development of pupils’ skills of understanding data expressed in graphs. For this purpose, we compiled our own testing tool, consisting of complex tasks focused on active work with graphs, as well as a questionnaire focused on pupils’ perception of their own graphic skills. We compared the results of pupils from seventh grade in primary school, who have been learning biology and geography in an inquiry way for almost three years, with pupils who are learning these subjects in the traditional way. The obtained results confirmed that the implementation of inquiry-based education with frequent use of graphs had a positive effect on pupils’ skills to read, interpret, and construct graphs.
