INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING WITH HANDS ON EXPERIMENTS IN TEACHING NATURAL SCIENCE TO DEVELOPE SCIENCETIFIC COMPETENCE OF LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the 2018 General Education Program, the Natural Science curriculum at the secondary level aims to develop students’ scientific competence and contribute to forming a comprehensive worldview of learning. This supports students in perceiving, learning, and exploring the natural world, necessitating a seamless integration of theory and practice. This article presents theoretical studies on discovery learning through Hands on experiments and highlights their role in science education. By analyzing the characteristics of Hands on experiments, the article evaluates their effectiveness in fostering the scientific competence of secondary school students within the 2018 Natural Science curriculum. The research team designed six Hands on experiments and assessed their impact on enhancing students’ competence component inquiring nature through pedagogical experiments, illustrated by two examples of the inquiry-based learning process
