الملخص EN

This study aimed at investigating the nature of science teachers’ practices of inquiry based on science supervisors’ perceptions.

The sample included 38 science teachers’ supervisors (16 males and 22 females) from different educational administrations in Saudi Arabia.

The results indicated that the su- pervisors believed that male science teachers practice inquiry in the classroom once a month.

However, the supervisors believed that female science teach- ers’ practice scientific inquiry in the classroom once a week.

The supervisors also believed that science teachers spend 20% of the class time in practicing inquiry.

Based on the results, this study provided recommendation to influ- ence inquiry practices in the classroom.
