Inquiry approaches in learning physics
description The study developed and validated the open inquiry learning framework in Physics which adheres to the requirements of the constructivist and inquiry approaches. This framework can serve as guide for Physics teachers to meet the demands of the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum.
