The aim of this research was to examine the effect of students' critical thinking skills using a guided inquiry model with macromedia flash and direct instruction in chemistry learning. The researchers used a quasi-experiment, with post-test only control group design. This research was conducted at SMAN 3 Kota Ternate. The research subjects were…

This study aimed to explore low and non-low achievers' motivation towards science learning among 8th graders in two public schools in central Taiwan under inquiry-based instruction. Mixed design research methods were adopted, and students were divided into experimental (n = 56) and control groups (n = 45). Six non-consecutive inquiry units…

In the context of 21st century learning, lecturers encounter complex challenges in optimizing learning processes and outcomes. The previous research reports that teaching method is considered as the right solution to overcome that problem. This quasi-experimental research aims to: (1) explore the difference between Critical Thinking Skills (CTS)…
