The Development of Basic Scientific Process Skills of Grade 4 Students on the Solar System through Inquiry-Based Learning together with the Use of the Games

Abstract

          The purpose of this research was to compare the basic scientific process skills between before and after using Inquiry-Based Learning management together with the use of the games in topic of the solar system of grade 4 students. The sample used in this research was 18 grade 4 students in Pathum Thani Province during the second semester of the academic year 2021. The research instruments were the learning management plan and the basic scientific process skills test. The data were analyzed by means, standard deviation and independent sample t-test.
          The results of the research revealed that the learning management through Inquiry-Based Learning together with the use of the game in topic of the solar system
can develop basic scientific process skills of the grade 4 students, and the basic scientific process skills of grade 4 students after learning management using Inquiry-Based Learning was significantly higher than before studying at the 0.05 level.
