Abstract

The paper discuses problems connected with dissemination of the inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach in the Czech educational environment. In the first part, it provides an overview of published papers focusing in the Czech context on IBL. In the next part, it summarizes experience with this approach obtained by so called independent expert centres, e.g. organisations providing educational and training programmes to schools. There are briefly described various IBL programmes and the results of their evaluation. In the last part the paper provides reasons for a higher cooperation between these centres and universities in the process of dissemination of the IBL.
