Inquiry and its assessment: lessons learnt from research and practice Authors Odilla E. Finlayson Dublin City University. School of Chemical Sciences. CASTeL (Ireland) Keywords: Assessment, inquiry-based science education, employability skills. Abstract Inquiry-based science education has been the focus of many national and international programs in Europe in recent years as a way to develop students’ knowledge and skills, extend their science learning and develop employability skills. This paper explores the interrelation between learning aims, teaching strategies and assessment practices within the context of an inquiry framework. While learning aims and teaching strategies are often considered in tandem, the strategies for on-going evaluation of the student learning are often only considered at the end of the process.keywords: Assessment, inquiry-based science education, employability skills.
