Inquiry-Based Experimental Design for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning of Chemistry Concepts.

de Dieu Kwitonda, Jean; Sibomana, Aimable; Gakuba, Emmanuel; Karegeya, Claude

Chemistry concepts to be well learned by students, there might be a conducive learning environment and this is due to the approach employed by educators. This review then is about inquiry-based experiment design as an innovative teaching and learning tool that enhances chemistry instruction. By collecting all related kinds of literature, we used Google Scholar, ERIC, and Web of Science database. The conclusion of this literature review revealed that effective implementation of inquiry-based experiment design enhances the teaching and learning of chemistry concepts. It is also recommended that chemistry educators could be trained on the professional use of the approach for the good classroom implication and students' understanding of the concepts learned. Further studies should focus on the use of inquiry-based experiment design in the teaching and learning chemistry concepts.
