The inquiry-based approach has received increasing attention in history teaching recently. This study applied a case study in an International Baccalaureate public school in Finland to explore its related philosophy and practice on history teaching. The research tools used included observation, interview, and document analysis to collect data in an eighth-grade classroom. The results showed two key findings. First, the design of its philosophy lies in the importance of developing students' understanding of the nature of historical knowledge and guiding each individual as a participant in history. Secondly, both teachers and students all applied ''historical materials, writing, interpretation and reflection'' as the core of this inquiry-based teaching and learning model. They also tried to approach a higher-order thinking and conceptual organization by utilizing historical knowledge, thinking, and defining the nature of knowledge. This study, too, provides several suggestions for the inquiry-based teaching and learning for the history curriculum in Taiwan. |
