Resumen
This article arises from the exercise of reflection based on the development of the competence of inquiry in Natural Sciences. This is the origin of the creation of an instrument called a guide, which directs, step by step, the development of inquiry skills in ninth-grade secondary students at the Álvaro González Santana Polytechnic Institution in Sogamoso, Boyacá (IEAGS). The research collective establishes the following steps: observation of phenomena, posing of the problem, formulation of questions, formulation of hypotheses and predictions, search and recording of information, presentation of experiments and identification of variables, measurement and organization of results. With regard to the above, the parameters evaluated in the inquiry competence by the Colombian Institute for the Promotion of Higher Education (ICFES) are taken as reference, all the above, based on Problem Based Learning (PBL). Thus, the PBL progressively develops each of the skills necessary for the development of the inquiry competence and, in addition, contributes to the student’s training by increasing collaborative work, responsibility and self-training.
