Abstract: | Effectively enacting inquiry-based science instruction entails considerable changes in classroom management practices. In
this article, we describe five interconnected management areas that need to be addressed when managing an inquiry-oriented
K-8 science classroom. We introduce a pyramid model as a framework for thinking about these management areas and present a
brief review of what the research literature says about each area. We propose that enacting inquiry-based instruction requires
a different kind of approach to classroom management that takes into account the close-knit relationship between management
and instruction. This perspective recognizes the pervasive nature of managing the classroom for inquiry learning. |
