Teachers' Pedagogical Inquiry Knowledge can be documented and assessed by means of a Loughran et al. (2004) Inquiry Content Representation (I CoRe) developed by the authors through seven inquiry activities mentioned in the last editorial of this Journal, and Inventories collected in interviews. Five high school and college teachers with experience on inquiry teaching were the subjects of this research. It was observed that all teachers have used inquiry to modify their students' way of thinking, mainly through question posing but also with open research activities as main tools to promote scientific inquiry. It is interesting to notice that in spite of the fact that inquiry is out of the curriculum, the teachers made use of it to improve their teaching practice. Several verbatim phrases expressed by the teachers are included in this study.
