| Description | The study is devoted to research into new limiting factors in science teacher education. Design-based research was the basic framework, with the use of specific research methods such as a curricular Delphi study, Kirton’s Adaptation-Innovation Inventory, a case study, structured observation, a questionnaire, structured interviews, and analysis of teachers’ products. The main research outcome is determination of new limiting factors of the effectiveness of teacher training in inquiry-based science education: creativity styles of teachers, adult learning styles of teachers, and individual education of teachers. Teacher constructivism and motivation are the bases of the developed method for overcoming these limiting factors. |
