This paper discusses the theoretical framework and curriculum materials that form the basis of the Investigative Science Learning Environment (ISLE) approach to learning and teaching physics. ISLE, as a philosophical approach to learning, has two core intentionalities: (i) We want students to learn physics by thinking like physicists; by engaging in knowledge-generating activities that mimic the actual practices of physics and using the reasoning tools that physicists use when constructing and applying knowledge. (ii) The way in which students learn physics should enhance their well being. The paper discusses how the ISLE approach and its implementation is shaped by epistemology, findings of cognitive science, learning theory, and the perspective of universal design. Both qualitative and quantitative data are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of ISLE in instructional settings.
