A Study on the Effect of Science Achievement Faculties Improvements in High School Inquiry Chemistry Experiments

摘要

In this study, the effects of science achievement faculties improvements upon students' logical thinking, science inquiry skills, experiment attitudes, manipulated skills and inquiry process skills were investigated in high school inquiry chemistry experiments. For this purpose, the participants were 150 students taking the course of high school chemistry class in Anyang-city. Logical thinking and science inquiry skills?data were collected from written tests, inquiry process skills?data were collected from reports and experiment attitudes and manipulated skills?data were collected from classroom observations. As the results of this study, students?inquiry process skills, experiment attitudes and manipulative skills were very low. But other parts except inquiry process skills were significantly increased. And the science achievement of students were improved when continuously inquiry chemistry experiment were applied to students.
