Abstract

This contribution draws upon a comparative research study about sustained improvement in primary schools. Emphasis is given to the level of 9 to 10 year old children. The findings will be published in a book (Hameyer, van den Akker, Anderson. & Ekholm) in spring 1995. The authors will give insight into some case study documents about the inquiry curriculum as implemented in 15 schools in Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the US. This crosscountry comparison is called IMPACT - Implementing Activity-Based Learning in Elementary Science Teaching. The main purpose of IMPACT is to explore lasting changes in schools which are considered productive as to specific selection criteria which will be explained in more detail. The focus is laid on processes by which activity-based curriculum components and principles are anchored both in classroom teaching and in life of the particular school.
