Abstract
Teaching approaches and models have an important role in learning as they have the potential to channel students to research, increase their active participation and facilitate learning. The study aims to investigate the effect of guided inquiry teaching model on 7 th grade students' scientific process skills. The research employed the quasi-experimental method and it was carried out with 85 seventh grade students, 40 in control and 45 in experimental group, in a secondary school in Baskale district of Van during 2017-2018 academic year. The data collection process lasted four weeks. The guided inquiry based teaching model was used in the experimental group and 5E instructional model was used in the control group. The data were collected through the Scientific Process Skills Scale and were analysed by using dependent and independent t-test. The findings show that science teaching based on guided inquiry model has an effect on the scientific process skills of 7 th grade students. From this perspective, it can be said that it is appropriate for teachers to use guided inquiry teaching model in Science courses for the development of students' scientific process skills.
