Abstract

Inquiry can be an effective educational strategy for building critical thinking and student agency, but it is also a catalyst for scientific research. This study built upon a foundation of inquiry as 25 adolescents participated in a nine-week guided inquiry curriculum focused on smartphones and digital responsibility. As participants developed personally meaningful inquiries and designed investigations into smartphone usage, they became co-researchers who conducted their own research studies at a large museum. The study examines to what extent participants show changes in their (1) sense of well-being; (2) awareness of personal smartphone usage. Pre- and post-intervention data compared participants' personal awareness of smartphone usage and investigated participants' well-being. Results showed significant increases in positive affect and smartphone awareness, with significant decreases in negative affect. This study provides important insights for teachers and researchers by highlighting the positive educational impacts of two-way dialogue between research and education.

以探究式方法了解幸福和智能手机的使用：与青少年学生一起构建研究

探究是培养批判性思维和学生主体性的有效教育策略，同时也是科学研究的催化剂。本研究以探究为基础，25 名青少年参加了为期九周的以智能手机和数字责任为主题的引导式探究课程。随着参与者对智能手机的使用进行有个人意义的探究和设计调查，他们成为了共同研究者，在一家大型博物馆开展了自己的研究。本研究探讨了参与者在以下方面的变化：（1）幸福感；（2）对个人智能手机使用的认识。干预前后的数据比较了参与者对智能手机使用的个人意识，并调查了参与者的幸福感。结果显示，积极情绪和智能手机使用意识明显增强，消极情绪明显下降。这项研究为教师和研究人员提供了重要启示，强调了研究与教育之间双向对话的积极教育影响。
