- Abstract
The major purpose of this study was to investigate the abilities of inquiry biology teachers when they were preparing inquiry-based teaching trough mentoring program. First, 9 biology teachers from different high school was analyzing biological content potential to inquiry, then they found their inquiry activities by mini research (Starting from the planning, presenting the design, conducting experiments and reporting the results). They made lesson plan and student worksheets from what they found in their mini research. This program it takes place for 12 weeks. The abilities of inquiry and dynamic of inquiry examined as long as they did inquiry in the program through observation sheet, questionnaires and interviews. The results showed that average of biology teachers' was reaching of 'develop' in inquiry ability, while the dynamics of inquiry performances have 56 performances on the understanding of procedural and 15 performances of the changes that occur during the inquiry. Teachers' held good ability in identifying questions and concepts that guide scientific investigations also in communicating and defend a scientific argument, but very poor using technology and mathematics to improve investigations and communications, using and searching literature, and make a physical, conceptual, and mathematical models.
