For years, inquiry-based learning has been conceived of and promoted as one of the best approaches to learning science. However, there is currently a movement within the science education community that suggests promoting science learning based on scientific practices, instead of inquiry, because in this way, science learning would be more coherent with the enterprise that is science. But, are there well-founded reasons to work towards this shift, or is it just a new terminology with which to refer to inquiry? In order to respond to this question, firstly, the main arguments which support science education based on scientific practices are presented. Secondly, an analysis is made in order to determine the extent to which the approach based on scientific practices is innovative with respect to the inquiry approach. Thirdly, nature of the inquiry and scientific practice constructs is analyzed. All of this is done from a critical and reflective view. Finally, some reflections and suggestions are made in relation to practice-based science education.

从探究式科学教育到基于科学实践的方法

多年来，探究式学习一直被认为是学习科学的最佳方法之一。然而，目前科学教育界有一项运动建议基于科学实践而不是探究来促进科学学习，因为这样，科学学习将与科学事业更加一致。但是，是否有充分的理由来实现这种转变，或者它只是一个用来指代调查的新术语？为了回答这个问题，首先，提出了支持基于科学实践的科学教育的主要论据。其次，进行分析以确定基于科学实践的方法相对于探究方法的创新程度。第三，分析了探究和科学实践结构的性质。所有这一切都是从批判性和反思性的角度完成的。最后，对基于实践的科学教育提出了一些思考和建议。
