Analyzing the impact of inquiry-based projects on student scientific inquiry skills.

Thesis Abstract

This research project aims to analyze the impact of inquiry-based projects on student scientific inquiry skills. Inquiry-based learning is an approach that promotes active student engagement in the scientific process, fostering skills such as questioning, investigating, and analyzing data. This study will involve a sample of high school biology students who will participate in inquiry-based projects focused on various biological topics. Pre- and post-assessments will be conducted to measure changes in students' scientific inquiry skills, including their ability to formulate research questions, design experiments, and interpret data. Additionally, qualitative data will be collected through interviews and observations to gain insights into students' experiences with inquiry-based learning. The findings of this study will contribute to our understanding of the effectiveness of inquiry-based projects in developing scientific inquiry skills.
