Inquiry based research requires individuals to think about a subject, to
reason, to conduct indepth research and to discuss the results. Inquiry based
research lead the individuals to explore knowledge, investigation, and
discovering facts. Permanent learning in science is thought to occur through
inquiry, research and exploration. For this reason, in disciplines such as
chemistry learning should be conducted by questioning, researching and
exploring, that is, inquiry-based research. The purpose of this research is to
investigate the effect of inquiry based chemistry experiment practices on the
inquiry skills and scientific creativity of prospective teachers. The sampling
consisted of prospective chemistry teachers studying at Hacettepe University.
In the research, inquiry skills scale and scientific creativity test were used
as data collection tools. As a result of the research, it has been determined
that inquiry based chemistry experiment practices are an effective approach in
order to improve inquiry skills and scientific creativity of teacher
candidates. The research findings also reveal that the inquiry-based chemistry
experiment practices allow the chemistry to be more understandable, given the
opportunity to practice the theoretical knowledge and makes chemistry
experiments fun.
