Investigation Into The Current Situation Of The Implementation Scientific Inquiry Activities Of The Countryside Junior Middle School Biology In Liaoning Province

Research methods used in this paper are mainly the questionnaire investigation and caseanalysis. The investigation objects are the countryside junior middle school biology teachers andmiddle school students in Liaoning Province. And investigation into the current situation of theimplementation scientific inquiry activities of the countryside junior middle school biologyaimed at understanding the attitude of the teachers and students on the scientific inquiryactivities, and the current situation of the implementation scientific inquiry activities in thecountryside junior middle school.
