Effect of the 5E Inquiry-Based Learning Approach Combined with the TPACK Model on Biology Achievement and Concept in Biology of Grade 11 Students at Akkarasartwitaya School

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to compare the academic achievement and concepts in the subject of biology, specifically on the topic of plant reproduction, of grade 11 students at Akkarasartwitaya School before and after learning by the 5E inquiry-based learning approach with the TPACK Model framework. The sample group consisted of 36 grade 11 students in the science-mathematics program at Akkarasartwitaya School, semester 1, academic year 2023, who were selected by cluster random sampling, using one classroom as the sampling unit. The research instruments consisted of a learning plan, an academic achievement test, and a concept test. Data were analyzed by finding the mean (), standard deviation (S.D.), and using the Paired Samples t-test. The research found that the academic achievement of students in the biology subject on the reproduction of flowering plants who were taught using the 5E inquiry-based learning approach in conjunction with the TPACK Model was statistically significantly higher after learning at the .01 level. Additionally, the concepts in the biology subject on the reproduction of flowering plants of students who were taught using the 5E inquiry-based learning approach in conjunction with the TPACK Model were statistically significantly higher after learning at the .01 level.
