The Effectiveness of Designing Inquiry Tables in Teaching Science on Science Prosses and Achievements of Ninth Grade Students’ in the Sultanate of Oman

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of training students to design inquiry tables for their scientific explorations and experiments on their academic achievement and their performance on a science process test. The sample included 130 female students in grade nine in the Sultanate of Oman. The experimental group consisted of 66 students, and the control group consisted of 64 students. The results indicated that the experimental group outperformed the control group in the science processes test. On the other hand, there were nonstatistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to the academic achievement.
