Enhancing Science Process Skills through Inquiry - Based Learning: A Comprehensive Literature Review and Analysis

Abstract

The objective of this paper was to examine the impact of inquiry -based learning method on science process skills of the learners. This article did a thorough literature review, and 15 publications were chosen for analysis. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta -Analyses (PRISMA) method was used in this study. The well -known databases like Springer, ERIC, and Google Scholar were used to find publications for this study. The studies were chosen carefully for research papers published between 2014 and 2023. Those publications were chosen according to some inclusion criteria. The findings revealed that the inquirybased learning method had a considerable impact on the learners' science process skills. The outcomes of the study may inspire scientific educators to employ inquiry -based learning methods to increase science process skills, which are critical competences that may affect student performance in science learning.
