The Web-based Inquiry Science Environment (WISE): Scaffolding teachers to adopt inquiry and technology
J.D. Slotta 2004 Internet Environments for Science Education. LEA.
This chapter describes the WISE learning environment and curriculum partnerships and discusses a research program aimed at helping all teachers adopt inquiry and technology methods. WISE implementation and assessment are discussed. A case study of two seventh grade life science teachers who adopted WISE in their classrooms is also presented. The results of this study suggest that WISE can accommodate teachers with diverse perspectives and styles while still preserving the desired inquiry experience for students.
