The population of this study was 400 first-year undergraduates in the first semester of 2022-2023 academic year in Zhoukou Normal University. The sample was 30 students derived from a cluster sampling. The research instruments were 1) six lesson plans using inquiry-based instructional process, 2) the independent learning ability evaluation forms including classroom observation form and self-evaluation form with the criterion set at 70 percent, and 3) the questionnaire for students’ satisfaction. The research instruments could be used after evaluation by five experts. The statistics used for data analysis were the mean, standard deviation, and t-test of one sample.    


          The findings of the study were as follows. The inquiry-based instructional process to promote independent learning ability for Ideological and Moral Cultivation and Legal Basis was consisted of seven steps. Before class, it was Step 1 which was "Assignment and preview".  During class, it was Step 2 which was "Introduce situations", Step 3 which was "Individual inquiry", Step 4 which was "Cooperative group inquiry", Step 5 which was "Presentation of the result", and Step 6 which was "Summary and evaluation".

This was higher than the criterion of 3.51, and the standard deviation was 0.14 - 0.30.       


          After using the inquiry-based instructional process, the percentage of the independent learning ability, the classroom observation, the self-evaluation of the students and the students’ satisfaction were higher than the criterion set at 70 percentage with statistical significance at .05 level.
