摘要：AbstractThe article reacts on current needs that are developed from educational practice and pedagogical theory, as well as on the requirements of the society. These requirements focus on competences of students to be able to think rationally, to deal with new situations and complex-problem solving. It develops new trends in educational sciences that manifest itself in intensively asserted activities. Those activities are oriented on a change of manner of acquiring and adopting new cognition of a student. It supports application of the constructivist approaches on a process of education that are connected to demands of teachers to have more suitable and competent equipment. The results of already realized surveys and investigations of Czech School Inspectorate demonstrate that teachers do not embrace necessary competences for realization of the inquiry-based instruction.By applying of the theoretical and scientific methods, especially comparative analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction and critical approaches, there was created basic terminology as well as reflected educational aspects and outlined perspectives. The defined area is solved within the international context and the problematic is being researched as general aspect. The aim of this thesis was to define issues in pedagogical research that needs further investigation.
