ATTITUDE TOWARD CHEMISTRY PROJECT PRACTICE BETWEEN USING OPEN INQUIRY PROJECT APPROACH (OIPA) AND USING GUILD INQUIRY PROJECT APPROACH (GIPA)

Abstract

          The objectives of this research was to compare the attitude toward chemistry project practice between Open Inquiry Project Approach (OIPA) and Guild Inquiry Project Approach : GIPA)on chemistry subject of engineering undergraduates North Eastern University 1^st semester, 2022 academic year. The target groups used in the research were 60 undergraduates’ students to device 2 groups. They were divided into two groups of 30 each. The Open Inquiry Project Approach was the experimental group and The Guild Inquiry Project Approach was the control group. The instrument used was the Attitude toward Project Chemistry Test. There were 2 parts such as; part 1 was Likert Scale, and part 2 was multiple choices the statistics used in the data analysis were frequency, percentage nd compare statistic were Mann–Whitney Test and ². The research found that: 1. The comparison of the result on attitude toward chemistry project practice between the experimental group and the control group using the Likert scale was found to be significantly different at the 0.05 level with Mann–Whitney U Value(t)=58 and Mann–Whitney U Prob. (p)=0.00 for the experimental group and the control group=4.33 and 3.13, respectively. 2. The comparison of the results of attitudes towards chemical project practice between the experimental group and the control group using a multiple choice test was found that there were different proportions with statistical significance at the 0.05 Including; the time spent(²=6.79, p = 0.01), the difficulty of the operation(²=4.44, p = 0.03), and the reasons for the changes in the inquiry project, it was found that the two factors, namely, project participants(²= 11.92, p = 0.00), and teachers(²= 13.87, p = 0.00).
