A successful application of scientific research in science education requires adequate professional training of teachers. The study presents the results of research focused on the level of scientific inquiry skills of future biology teachers. The results showed that students with a success rate of over 80 % solved tasks focused on applying numerical methods, determining relationships between variables and evaluating the uses and misuses of scientific information with a more than 80 % success rate. On the other side, the students had considerable problems associated with planning and implementing of the experiment. The results indicated that there is no significant difference in the level of scientific inquiry skills between students who study biology teaching in combination with other science subject, and students who study biology teaching in combination with a non-science subject.

Skuteczne zastosowanie badań naukowych w edukacji naukowej wymaga odpowiedniego przeszkolenia zawodowego nauczycieli. W opracowaniu przedstawiono wyniki badań dotyczących poziomu umiejętności badawczych przyszłych nauczycieli biologii. Wyniki pokazały, że 80 % studentów z powodzeniem rozwiązywało zadania polegające na stosowaniu metod numerycznych, określaniu relacji między zmiennymi oraz ocenianiu prawidłowego i nieprawidłowego wykorzystania informacji naukowej. Z drugiej strony studenci mieli znaczne problemy związane z planowaniem i realizacją eksperymentu. Wyniki pokazały, że nie ma znaczącej różnicy w poziomie umiejętności prowadzenia badań naukowych między studentami, którzy studiują nauczanie biologii w połączeniu z innym przedmiotem nauki, a studentami, którzy studiują nauczanie biologii w połączeniu z przedmiotem nienaukowym.

Słowa kluczowe
