Curriculum goals that promote child-centered inquiry learning in science classrooms can only be met if teachers believe both in the pedagogy promoted and in the perspectives on science represented in that curriculum. Apart from those issues, an inquiryfocused curriculum requires teachers to engage their students in activities (such as inquiry investigations) that they themselves may not have experienced. This paper reports on findings from two complementary studies that investigated secondary science student teachers engaging with inquiry activities from two different perspectives: as investigators conducting an inquiry, and as evaluations of inquiry work done by others. Findings from these studies suggest that there are considerable challenges to be faced in having inquiry enacted in classrooms.
