Abstract

The purposes of this research were to compare physics concepts and physics problem solving abilities of tenth grade students by using 7E inquiry learning methods with problem solving techniques before and after learning and after learning with the 70 percent criteria. The participants were 40 tenth grade students from Darasamutr School. They were selected through the cluster random sampling. The research instruments were lesson plans using 7E inquiry learning methods with problem solving techniques, physics concept test, and physics problem solving abilities test. The data were analyzed by using mean, standard deviation, dependent sample t-test, and one sample t-test. The results were summarized as follows: 1) The posttest scores of physics concepts of tenth grade students after learning with the 7E inquiry learning methods with problem solving techniques were statistically significant higher than the pretest scores and higher than the 70 percent criteria at the .05 level. 2). The posttest scores of physics problem solving abilities of tenth grade students after learning with the 7E inquiry learning methods with problem solving techniques were statistically significant higher than the pretest scores and higher than the 70 percent criteria at the .05 level.
