This study evaluates the efficiency of Problem Based Inquiry Approaches in
enhancing the Grade 7 scientific discovery skills. The study utilized the quasi-experimental
method of research to evaluate the effect of the teaching method Problem Based Inquiry
Approaches to enhance the Grade 7 scientific discovery skills. The finding of the study were the
basis of a proposed intervention plan. Based from the results given, it can be shown that the pretest
performance of the Grade 7 students which is equal to 29.25 is lesser than the posttest performance
of the respondents which is equal to 37.58 that resulted to the computed t value which is equal to
4. 422 which is greater than the critical t value which is 1.636. This further explains that the null
hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference between the pretest and posttest
performance of the Grade 7 students after the integration of the problem based inquiry approaches
in enhancing the students’ scientific discovery skills is rejected.
The test results implied that since the computed t value is greater than the critical t value,
the integration of the problem based inquiry approaches in enhancing the Grade 7 scientific
discovery skills is significant. Scores are expected to be higher on the post-test because the students
have already studied the tested material. It also make sense to conclude that the treatment is
responsible for the improvement.
