The Impact of Inquiry Based Instruction on Science Process Skills and Self-efficacy Perceptions of Pre-service Science Teachers at a University Level Biology Laboratory

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of inquiry-based teaching approach on pre-service science teachers' laboratory self-efficacy perceptions and scientific process skills. The quasi experimental model with pre-test-post-test control group design was used as an experimental design in this research. The sample of this study included 24 pre-service science teachers. Data were collected using Laboratory Self-Efficacy Scale, The Test of Integrated Process Skills and Interview Form. According to results, the positive influences of inquiry-based teaching approach on pre-service science teachers' laboratory self-efficacy perceptions and scientific process skills have been observed. Participants determined positive thinking to positive effectiveness of inquiry-based teaching approach in interviews.

The effectiveness of multiple intelligences based teaching strategy in enhancing the multiple intelligences and science process skills of junior High School students

“…The increasing scores trend reflected the process skill development of students taught using multiple intelligence-based learning. Active learning activities, conducted outside the classroom by implementing discovery strategy, led to good development of process skills aspects (Ting & Siew, 2014;Sen & Vekli, 2016).…”

Analisis Skill Calon Guru Biologi Dalam Penyusunan Lesson Plan Sistem Gerak

“…Settlage (2007) menggarisbawahi bahwa pembelajaran inquiri adalah strategi yang menghindari pembelajaran yang langsung diambil dari buku (Settlage, 2007). Şen & Vekli (2016) berpendapat bahwa pembelajaran inkuiri berbasis instruksi merupakan strategi mengajar yang bertujuan untuk mengembangkan keterampilan siswa dalam menghadapi masalah menggunakan metodologi yang digunakan para ilmuwan melalui kegiatan penemuan, penyelidikan, analisis dan inquiri di dalam kelas.…”

The characteristics teaching materials of biology laboratory management

“…Laboratories in schools need to be utilized and managed effectively and efficiently to make a successful learning process at school (Nurhadi, 2018). The laboratory plays a role in developing experimental knowledge and skills (Jeenthong et al, 2014;Şen & Veklİ, 2016). In addition to the process skills, motor skills are required in procedural skills (Burgess et al, 2020) such as activities in the laboratory.…”
