In this research, we looked for evidences of how the processes of research and reflection of the pedagogical practice mediated by tool for analysis of inquiry based education can contribute to the knowledge construction on the teaching of Physics. We consider the inquiry based teaching as an approach that allows learning Physics in high school based on students' scientific experience. From the methodological point of view, the research is considered collaborative since we took into consideration the formative commitment in the  development of the study. The data production was established by the means of a reflective report of a pedagogical activity developed by three residents Pedagogical Residency program.  In this activity, the residents planned an Inquiry Based Physics class for high school students, and using an analytical tool they could reflect to what extent the class taught was an inquiry based class. The reports analysis indicate that the residents understood the basic principles of the inquiry based teaching, as posing a problem that engages students in the process of scientific knowledge construction in the classroom, broadening their intellectual freedom. The results also indicate that to reach students´ engagement and active participation it is important to establish a dialogic interaction in the problem solving process. The analytical tool used by the residents, allowed not only the analysis of the expected students’ actions during an inquiry based activity, but also allowed  residents to analyze whether their class conduction promoted an inquiry based environment.
