A massive experiment involving 17,000 students in four countries finds
gains for inquiry-, or problem-based teaching over traditional
approaches. Introducing math and science through inquiry and problem-based instruction can pay off throughout elementary school. However, while both boys and girls improved in inquiry-based classes, the
researchers found that boys improved faster, widening the gender
achievement gap.
