12.5.4 Conclusions About Challenges of Technology Integration in Inquiry Practices

The science education community mostly agrees about the relevance of using ICT, IBSE, and their integration: ICT in IBSE for pupils exercising inquiry practices, acquiring inquiry skills, and understanding scientific inquiry. However, ICT in IBSE is still very much under-used and applied at a relatively small scale in most countries. When it is used, the use often lacks the basic characteristics of inquiry.

Although integration of ICT into IBSE is relevant, it is cognitively and practically challenging for both students and teachers. ICT-enhanced inquiry-based strategies have proved their potential, but not their general efficacy in the hands of average teachers. Science teachers need effective training and practical guidelines to handle the complexity of the ICT-enhanced, inquiry-based activity without reducing it to simple “cookbook recipes”. Furthermore, integration of ICT into IBSE needs sufficient time to be faithfully implemented. An actual impact of ICT in IBSE teaching on pupils needs both a longer period and consistent incorporation of ICT in IBSE in regular teaching.
