“…In this context, an improvement of inquiry skills was also aimed (TTKB, 2013). In many countries, improvement of students' inquiry skills has been encouraged in recent years (Wang, Guo & Jou, 2015). It would be handy to investigate the process of inquiry in order to know what these inquiry skills actually are.…”

This study aims to investigate the effect of learning by teaching on inquiry skills. With its explanatory sequential design, this particular study focuses on interrogating whether learning by teaching has an effect on prospective science teachers' inquiry skills and to unveil how it does so, only if it had an effect. The current research is conducted upon 47 prospective science teachers who study in a public university in Turkey and take a course termed as Special Topics in Chemistry during the Fall term of 2016-2017 academic year. The quantitative data is gathered with an inquiry skills scale whereas the qualitative data is collected via a structured interview form. While the t-Test is used in the analysis of the quantitative data, the method of content analysis is applied in the analysis of the qualitative data. The quantitative data displays that learning by teaching has a positive effect on the prospective science teachers' inquiry skills. The qualitative data indicates that a great majority of the prospective science teachers are of the opinion that learning by teaching has an impact on inquiry skills. They think that this effect occurs under three thematic dimensions; information, thinking and affective. The findings of this particular research suggest that learning by teaching can also be a method to develop inquiry skills of prospective science teachers.

“…Chinese teachers should adopted "do inquiry" to learn content knowledge and teaching knowledge of scientific inquiry by the situation of NOS and scientific knowledge (Wang, Guo, & Jou, 2015). Based upon this methods, teachers should do inquiry to experience and reflect on the "teach inquiry," and enhance the level of the understandings of SI, and constantly reflect on teaching strategy in teaching practice, deeply realizing the profound understanding of SI as well to achieve scientization, mastery and automation in the inquiry teaching.…”

Scientific epistemology is important issues in the International science education, of which teachers' views of nature of science and scientific inquiry as the two core topics, become the principal part of research, also have an important influence on the theory and practice of science curriculum. The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the relationship between views of NOS and SI held by high school science teachers from Beijing and New York. This sequential mixed research method study involved 102 high school science teachers, each 51 high school science teachers from Beijing and New York, through questionnaires Views of nature of Science-Form C (VNOS-D) and Views of Scientific Inquiry-Form S (VOSI-S) , followed by in-depth interviews responses. This investigation indicated that science teachers' views of two kinds of scientific epistemology were at different stages, categories and causality, and therefore, it has great effect on the cultural research in science education.

“…Scientific reasoning is an advanced method of thinking developed by the human race and was key in helping us gain a better understanding of the world. The concept of scientific reasoning was first mentioned by Piaget in his knowledge development theory (Wang, Guo, & Jou, 2015). Since the 1960s, scientific reasoning has become a key area of psychological research in other countries.…”
