Development and Evaluation of the Escape Room to Share Images of Inquiry-based Learning with Students on a Teacher-training Course

Abstract

In this study, we focused on the challenges faced by students when sharing images related to organizing or analyzing and summarizing or expressing in inquiry-based learning in a course on teaching methods in the period for integrated studies. To address this challenge, we developed an escape room called "Escape from Never-ending Exhibition Work" implemented it in this course. Our findings indicate that the developed material, compared to traditional lecture-based learning, significantly enhanced participants' selfevaluated ability to conceptualize "organization and analysis" and "summarization and expression" processes. Furthermore, it effectively facilitated the sharing of concrete representations of activities corresponding to these inquiry-based learning phases.
