Transforming the Teaching Laboratory into an Inquiry Laboratory for the Future Innovators
Abstract:
We proposed and realized an inquiry laboratory module to cope with instructors’ and students’ interdisciplinary needs for science inquiry. The center of the new module is one of the well-known open source microcontrollers and the feelers can be various sensors, switches or motors. Teachers and students can work together in designing and constructing the systems needed for their innovative inquiry projects. The newly developed module is not only a platform for inquiry; it also equips students with the fundamental competencies for the modern technologies and future innovations.
