Methodological document

This booklet is part of the Resources for Implementing Inquiry in Science and in Mathematics at School, developped during the The Fibonacci Project (2010-2013). These Resources include two sets of complementary booklets developed during the Fibonacci Project: The background resources and the companion resources.


1) Background Resources : The Background Resources were written by the members of the Fibonacci Scientific Committee. They define the general principles of inquiry-based science education and inquiry-based mathematics education and of their implementation. They include the following booklets:

2) Companion Resources The Companion Resources provide practical information, instructional ideas and activities, and assessment tools for the effective implementation of an inquiry-based approach in science and mathematics at school. They are based on the three-year experiences of five groups of Fibonacci partners who focused on different aspects of implementation. The Companion Resources summarise the lessons learned in the process and, where relevant, provide a number of recommendations for the different actors concerned with science and mathematics education (teachers, teacher educators, school directives, deciders, policy makers…). They include the following booklets:
