摘要
Over the past several decades, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners have placed an emphasis on inquiry-based science and mathematics instruction in elementary school. While inquiry-based science and mathematics instruction can support student learning and engagement, teacher preparation programmes have experienced challenges in preparing elementary teachers to use and maintain inquiry-based teaching practices. In this study, we describe how one teacher preparation programme in Canada partnered with a local elementary school to design a novel initiative that provided elementary preservice teachers with authentic opportunities to employ inquiry-based instructional practices for science and mathematics. Using a thematic approach, we explored 46 elementary preservice teachers' beliefs, emotions, and feelings about the initiative and its impact on their future careers as teachers. We found preservice teachers were enthusiastic about the initiative and believed it had a positive impact on their future as teachers. The findings suggest implications for programmatic design in elementary teacher preparation programmes. Au cours des dernieres decennies, les responsables des orientations politiques, les chercheurs et les praticiens ont mis l'accent sur un enseignement des sciences et des mathematiques fonde sur l'enquete a l'ecole elementaire. Bien que cet enseignement puisse favoriser l'apprentissage et l'engagement des eleves, les programmes de formation des enseignants n'ont pas toujours su bien preparer les enseignants du primaire a utiliser et a garder des pratiques d'enseignement fondees sur l'enquete. Dans cette etude, nous decrivons comment l'association d'un programme canadien de formation des enseignants a une ecole primaire locale a permis la conception d'une initiative novatrice qui a donne aux enseignants en formation initiale des occasions reelles d'utiliser des pratiques d'enseignement fondees sur l'enquete en ce qui a trait aux sciences et aux mathematiques. A l'aide d'une approche thematique, nous avons sonde les croyances, les emotions et les sentiments de 46 enseignants en formation initiale au sujet de la demarche et de son impact sur leur future carriere d'enseignant. Nous avons constate que les enseignants en formation initiale etaient enthousiastes a l'egard de l'initiative et qu'ils percevaient un effet positif sur leur avenir en tant qu'enseignants.
