What
is
?
It is based on the beliefs that
•educational problems and issues are best
identified and investigated where the action is, i.e.
at the classroom and school level; and
•the educator or practitioner is the best judge of his
or her teaching or practice.
It is an approach to improving education
through change, by encouraging teachers to
be aware of their own practice, to be critical
of that practice, and to be prepared to change
it.
It is learning by doing in which a person
identifies a problem, does something to
resolve it, sees how successful his/her efforts
were, and if not satisfied to try again.

Concern
The study was conducted to determine the effect of designed lesson plan in
Science using the Inquiry Based Approach in increasing the pupils’ achievement.
Pupils – the study will help the pupils achieved better performance in Science.
Furthermore, it will develop critical and creative thinking among our pupils
because it encourages them to develop their questioning skills and problem based
learning.
Teachers – the study will help teachers find effective solution to their problems on
how to present meaningful lesson in Science. The designed lesson plans in Science
using Inquiry Based Approach is essential in improving instructional delivery in
Science that will lead to the development of Higher Order Thinking Skills to our
learners. Thus, ensuring the improvement of our academic achievement in Science
which is one of our main goals why we deliver the instruction meaningfully.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The study was conducted to determine the effect of designed lesson plan in
Science using the Inquiry Based Approach in increasing the pupils’ achievement.
School Heads – the study can help them in their instructional leadership by
monitoring the effectiveness of the designed lesson plans in Science using the
inquiry based approach. The results can also help them in guiding their teachers in
creating other initiatives in science and other subjects using the same concept.
Other DepEd Officials concern in Science – the study can help them in providing
instructional support in finding ways and means to make science more interesting
to our school children. Likewise, they can recommend the use of designing lesson
plans using the inquiry based approach in the teaching of science to all schools to
make learning more meaningful and develop the critical thinking of our learners.
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
Designed Lesson Plans- these are the lesson plans which were designed using the
inquiry based approach. These lesson plans will be used by the teachers for about 60
days to measure their effectiveness in increasing the academic achievement of the
pupils in Science.
Grade VI pupils – are the subject of the study.
Lilibangan ES – location of the study
Inquiry Based Learning - an educational approach associated with problem-based
learning in which the students learn through investigating issues or scenarios. In this
approach, students pose and answer questions individually and/or collaboratively in
order to draw conclusions regarding the specific issues or scenarios (Hakverdi-Can
& Sonmez, 2012). This is the approach used in designing the lesson plans.
Science Academic Performance – This refers to the academic proficiency of the
pupils in Science.

Proposed Strategy
The teaching innovation carry the concept of Inquiry
Based Approach as this is one of the constructivism
theories which are being implemented with the advent of
the K to 12 Program. The proposed strategy is to design
lesson plans in Science VI using the Inquiry Based
Approach.
Using the Curriculum Guides and other Science
References, the researcher conceptualized the lesson plans
using the Detail Lesson Plan format.
Proposed Strategy
The Teacher – Researcher used the following steps in conceptualizing the Lesson Plan:
(1) Ask a question. The lesson always starts with a problem or question; (2) The pupils
will be given activities in which they will investigate using instructional resources in
the school and classrooms to solve the problem; (3) The pupils will use the evidences
gathered to describe, explain and predict; (Organizing the conclusion); (4) The pupils
will connect the evidence to Knowledge (Drawing Conclusion collectively and
individually). The lesson plans are also localized capitalizing on the daily experiences
of the pupils. These lesson plans were part of the instructional planning of the teacher.
The lesson plans will be validated by all the school science leaders to ensure their
reliability and validity. They will be implemented in the classroom for 60 days. The
implementation will be monitored and evaluated by the PSDS Assign in the District,
School Science Leaders and the District Science Leaders.
Data Gathering Procedure and Ethical
Consideration
In collecting the needed data, there will be no written request for the Science
Teacher because the researcher itself in the adviser of the Grade VI pupils.
However, there was a written request from the School Principal that a research
was being conducted on the school. The documents needed were made available
such as the rating sheets for the first and second grading periods.
To ensure the validity of the results of the test as these are the significant
resources in determining the significant difference on the academic performance
of the pupils in science, the district science leader prepared the Testing Materials
with Table of Specifications. The Testing materials were further validated by the
District Science Consultant to ensure that they are align with the science
competencies for Grade VI with the curriculum guide serves as basis.
Data Gathering Procedure and Ethical
Consideration
The school principal, District and School Science Leaders, District Science
Consultant and the District Supervisor serve as evaluators. They have their
schedules to monitor and observe the researcher in the conduct of the teaching
strategy.
The researcher collected the needed data and validated to ensure the
veracity of the data. The information and the data gathered were tallied and
analyzed.
The researcher conducted the survey from the evaluators to gather the
needed data. The researcher also asks the help of the other science teachers to
conduct assessment to the Grade VI pupils. Likewise, they also interview the pupils
to make the study comprehensive and fair.
