The purpose for the professional development arrangement is aimed at supporting teachers' enacting the integrative practical activities (IPA) to promote students' inquiry skills and IT skills in secondary schools in China. Four versions of the exemplary curriculum materials and two versions of the professional development arrangement are developed in total.
