Abstract:
This study examines the efficacy of inquiry models-based instructional activities on the process skills of junior secondary school students in the field of Basic Science and Technology. The investigation also takes into account the potential influence of gender on students’ acquisition of process skills.

The use of inquiry-based instruction has gained prominence in science education as it promotes active learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities. However, there is a need to explore the effectiveness of specific inquiry models in enhancing students’ process skills, particularly in the context of Basic Science and Technology at the junior secondary school level.

The study employs a quantitative research design and involves a sample of junior secondary school students. The students are divided into two groups: an experimental group that receives inquiry models-based instructional activities and a control group that follows the traditional instructional approach. Pre-test and post-test assessments are conducted to measure the students’ process skills, which include observation, measurement, communication, inference, and prediction.

Additionally, the study investigates the potential influence of gender on students’ process skills development. Gender-related differences in science education have been a subject of interest, and this study aims to explore if any differential effects exist between male and female students in their acquisition of process skills through inquiry-based instruction.

The findings of this study will provide insights into the efficacy of inquiry models-based instructional activities in enhancing students’ process skills in Basic Science and Technology. The results will contribute to the existing literature on inquiry-based instruction and help inform science educators and curriculum developers about effective instructional strategies for promoting process skills development.
