A Research On The Design Of Extracurricular Scientific Activities Based On Inquiry Learning

Science learning is the source to improve students’ scientific literacy, inquiry-based learning is considered as an effective way of science learning. Countries are all attaching importance to the transforming of the learning way and advocating it, but the transforming pace of learning type from traditional receptive learning to inquiry-based learning is rather slow.

Aming at the problems above, this paper presents the extracurricular scientific activities based on inquiry learning, so how to desgin activities of this type to conduct students for changing learning style, to promote the development of students’ thinking.Firstly, this paper discussed the meaning of extracurricular scientific activities based inquiry learning, listed the research status on inquiry-based learning and extra-curricular science activities throgh literature research;Secondly, this paper analyzed the related theory, such as inquiry-based learning, cognitive development theory, listed the related concepts, and presented the "extra-curricular scientific activities based on inquiry learning" concept based on related theories and concepts;Thirdly, invistigated the implementation situation of the scientific activities, student attitudes wishes and expectations towards extracurricular scientific activities through questionnaires, provide some suggestions for the design of extracurricular scientific activities based on inquiry learning. Lastly, the author discussed the design of the extracurricular scientific activities based on inquiry learning, and through the extracurricular scientific activities themed "water contamination" verified the result.Based on the research aboved, at the end of the paper, the author obtained the corresponding theory and offered some sugestions. The author hope that this research can provide reference for sucessfully developing extracurricular scientific activities...
