Badatelsky orientovaná výuka: Pojetí, podstata, význam a přínosy

Jiří Dostál

The monograph Badatelsky orientovaná výuka: pojetí, podstata, význam a přínosy (in English: “The inquiry-based instruction: its concept, essence, importance and contribution”) reacts on the currents needs resulting not only from the educational practice and the pedagogical theory, but also from the demands of the society that manifest themselves in the emphasis on the pupils’ competencies development in domains of thinking, coping with the new situations and also in solving of the problem situations. It focuses on the solution of a relatively limited area of the pedagogical reality, which, however, has some broader connections that manifest themselves in the links to the related scientific fields – psychology, philosophy, or technics among others. The publication mostly relates to the works of the prominent methodological and psychological theoreticians. It provides an analysis of the pieces of knowledge that were already published, compares them with each other, and it evaluates them critically in order to create a basis matching the current state of cognition. Conceptually, the paper is devoted to the solution of the terminological problems that come mostly from the pedagogical theory, which is currently limited by the lack of the elaborated area devoted to the inquiry-based instruction. The publication defines the basic terms, it solves the pupil’s inquiry essence on the cognitive and emotional level, and it elaborates the teacher’s competencies to realize high-quality inquiry-based instruction. The accomplished results revise and expand the pedagogical and methodological theory, furthermore, their application is possible also within the frame of the field-specific methodology. At the same time, the monograph also presents the results of the realized empirical research thematically aimed on the teacher’s competencies that are connected to the realization of the inquiry-based instruction.
