However, results of the IBSE effectiveness are not clear. A more detailed analysis is required which will reflect learners´ individual characteristics. Therefore, the main aim of this research is to discover what the effectiveness of IBSE reflecting individual learning style is. The learning style categorization followed the Honey and Mumford´s variation on the Kolb´s system. The IBSE effectiveness was detected by the didactic test consisting of 15 PISA-style tasks. The research was conducted in the sample of 332 learners who were exposed to IBSE for five months. Their knowledge was tested before, immediately after and four months after the IBSE approach was applied in lessons. The collected data were processed by ANOVA and Tukey HSD test. The results show that the highest short-term results were reached with learners preferring concrete sensing; the highest long-term results were reached with those of active processing of information. This finding might be caused by better use of metacognition and acquiring such individual metacognitive strategies which learners apply at utilization of information. Further on, the IBSE should focus on mechanisms of fixing the acquired knowledge.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">588–601</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jiří Škoda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pavel Doulík</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martin Bílek</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ivana Šimonová</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INQUIRY BASED SCIENCE EDUCATION IN RELATION TO THE LEARNERS´ MOTIVATION TYPES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">educational practice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">inquiry-based science education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">learners’ motivation types</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">quantitative research</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">testing</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">December/2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2016/987-1479544335.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The study presents the results of the quantitative research focusing on the effectiveness of the inquiry based science education (IBSE) in correlation to motivation types of learners. Reflecting the fact that the learning results are impacted by the inner motivation, the main aim of the research was to find out whether there are differences in IBSE effectiveness in four motivation types - explorers, directors, coordinators, and accurators. 
The IBSE approach was applied for the period of five months to 395 fifteen-year-old learners of Czech lower secondary schools. The IBSE effectiveness was tested before the instruction (pre-test), immediately after it (post-test1) and four months later (post-test2). The results of four motivation types were compared. Directors reached the best results in post-test1; explorers in post-test2; accurators´ results were the worst of all. These findings show that the IBSE cannot be applied as a universal method; teachers should adjust its exploitation to learners’ individual particularities.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">791–803</style></section></record></records></xml>
