Inquiry-based teaching is a teaching method actively promoted by the 12-year National Basic Education Curriculum, which can help deepen competency learning and develop problem-solving abilities. Under these new changes, teachers face many new challenges, but it also provides new opportunities to cultivate teachers’savoring teaching and innovation. It will be of great help to the implementation and promotion of inquiry teaching practice. Therefore, this study investigated the current situation of teachers’inquiry teaching, savoring teaching, and teaching innovation in junior high schools, and the relationships between inquiry teaching, savoring teaching, and teaching innovation as a reference for schools and teachers to implement and promote inquiry teaching. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of junior high school teachers in Taipei City, New Taipei City, and Taoyuan City. A total of 302 questionnaires were returned, making for a response rate of 67.7%. MANOVA and structural equation models were used to analyze the questionnaire data, and several valuable results were found. First, the implementation of the new curriculum and the atmosphere of professional dialogue have enhanced teachers’implementation of inquiry teaching and also improved savoring teaching and innovation. Second, actively implementing inquiry teaching will help increase savoring teaching and innovation, and further give teachers the motivation to continuously improve teaching. Third, junior teachers, class tutors and section chiefs show low savoring teaching or teaching innovation, and need more professional support from the school. Finally, this study provides empirical evidence that the implementation of inquiry teaching contributes to savoring teaching and innovation. It can enrich academic research outcome on inquiry teaching and can also serve as a practical reference for schools to promote inquiry teaching. Based on these findings, several suggestions for the implementation of inquiry teaching and future research were offered. |
