| Abstract: | Inquiry based practical is meant to promote meaningful learning in science subjects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of inquiry-based chemistry practical instruction approach on the students’ academic performance in Secondary Schools in Tharaka-Nithi County. The study adopted a quasi–experimental design based on pre-test and post- test arrangement. The data that was generated was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The differences between the means of the two groups were analyzed using t-test. The statistical significance was tested at α = 0.05. The findings of the study indicated that the students who were instructed through IBCP attained higher scores than their counterparts who instructed through CPW. In conclusion, the use of inquiry-based approach by teachers of chemistry enhanced the academic performance of students. Thus, the study recommends that curriculum developers in secondary schools should emphasize teaching through inquiry-based approach. |
