Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) in Greek Curriculum

Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE) is a pedagogical approach promoted in the Greek educational system that focuses on active student engagement through investigation and evidence-based reasoning. Students explore scientific concepts by asking questions, conducting experiments and analysing data rather than passively receiving information.
IBSE is highly relevant for ECOTEACH, as it supports Environment-Based Learning (EBL) by encouraging students to investigate real environmental phenomena. It also integrates science and mathematics through data collection and analysis. The approach is suitable for secondary education (ages 12–18) and supports disadvantaged learners by promoting participation, collaboration and hands-on learning.
