Description

The article implements guided inquiry as a six-stage inquiry cycle from Liewelyin (2002): "(1) Inquisition - starting from the statement to be investigated, (2) Acquisition - enabling a brainstorming procedure, (3) Supposition - identifying the statement to be tested, (4) Implementation - designing and carrying out a plan, (5) Summation - collecting evidence and drawing conclusions, and (6) Exhibition - sharing and communicating results." It was delivered over 12 meetings to fifth-grade science classes, with the teacher acting as facilitator rather than transmitting knowledge directly.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

• Students lack prior inquiry experience, so the guided format with teacher-posed questions and structured stages is used
• Assessment during inquiry is continuous, using observation sheets, portfolio, and report product assessment

Constraints

• The article reports the model favored reflective-style students; impulsive students showed no significant advantage over conventional teaching

Target Learners

• fifth-grade elementary school students

Learning Goals

• science learning achievement
• scientific process skills such as predicting, experimenting, concluding, and communicating

Claims

• Guided Inquiry Beats Conventional Science Achievement [+M]
• Guided Inquiry Advantage Reflective Only [~M]
