“…Figure 3 shows the proportions. Researchers have shown improvement in students' attitudes with experiments and discussion (Marušić, 2012), with robotics (Khanlari, 2013) and inquiry-based learning (Wongwatkit, 2017;Fernandez, 2017), all of them combined in this implementation.…”

The use of technology – including mobile phones – in classrooms is a growing and promising trend, but it still needs research on ways to integrate it in classrooms and on its impacts. We propose a low cost educational product where students assemble an Arduino car remotely controlled through a mobile app and use it to study Newton’s third law, of action-reaction forces. The teacher used an inquiry-based approach to prompt students to test towing capacity of the car. Students connected the car to different weights and used a structure of pulleys to investigate the behaviour of fixed and movable pulleys, as well as the forces involved. The goal of the activity is to motivate students to study physics and to facilitate learning. This article describes a pilot implementation of the educational product in a secondary school of Brazil. We used a qualitative approach to evaluate the implementation. Students answered a survey before and after the activities. They also delivered a report and answered questions about the physics involved. The teacher recorded his observations. The product and the strategy showed great potential: these students were more motivated and engaged in the classes and were able to learn the main concepts involved.

“…As can be understood, inquiry approach is a suggested approach to be used in our country, but the importance attached to web-supported materials has been on the increase with the advances in technology. There are also studies observed in this area in the relevant literature (Applebaum, Vitale, Gerard & Linn, 2017;Baldwin, 2012;Fang et al, 2016;Kim, 2011;Wongwatkit, Panjaburee & Srisawasdi, 2017). It can arguably be said that the recent study is an example of this situation.…”

In parallel with the development of technology and increase in knowledge, learning-teaching environments have changed, and an understanding has taken into basis that students are active and responsible for their own learning. In accordance with this situation, inquiry-based learning approach and technology integration have come to an important point in science curricula in our country. In the study, it was aimed to investigate the effectiveness of web-based science material developed on the guided inquiry approach on students' information and communication skills. In the current study, embedded design was selected amongst mixed methods. First, web-based material was developed compatible with the guided inquiry approach for the systems in our body unit at sixth grade. Then, the developed material was applied during eight weeks by three teachers in three different classes and its effectiveness was examined. A total of 155 sixth grade students, 71 of whom were in the experimental group and 84 in the control group, participated in the study. In the study; "Information and Communication Skills Perception Scale" was used as a quantitative data collection tool and an observation form was used as the qualitative data collection tool. As a result of the study; although there was an increase in the information and communication skills perception scores of the students in the experimental group in which the web-based science material was applied according to the guided inquiry approach, it was understood that this difference was not significant [t(70)=-3.76, p>.05]. Even though there is an increase in information and communication skills, it is thought that this increase is not significant in terms of the students' perceptions of information and communication skills as these students were born into the technology age, developed high perception towards information and communication skills through their own tablets, computers, phones and other similar medium.

“…Research by Zaini (2016), guided inquiry gives a positive effect on the cognitive process learning achievement and students' critical thinking skills. Wongwatkit and his friends said that guided inquiry has been developed to improve students' learning performance and attitudes in Physics (Wongwatkit et al, 2017). Aulia and her friends, guided inquiry-based learning is effective to improve students' science literacy skills (Aulia et al, 2018).…”

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of learning materials with a guided inquiry model with the REACT strategy to improve students’ learning achievement on heat and temperature topic. It developed with the 4D model and try outed using the One Group Pre-Test Post-Test Design. Data collection methods used validation, observation, and test. The results of this research are that the learning materials have a very valid category and it can be used to improve the learning process. The learning achievement, the average post-test score is 84 with an N-Gain of 0.7 which categorize as medium, while the overall student completeness reached 88.57%. The students have a very good response to learning in the range of the answer with agree and very agree. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that learning materials of the guided inquiry learning model with the REACT strategy can improve the students’ learning achievement on heat and temperature topic. Guided inquiry with the REACT strategy learning is expected to be able to make students more actively in the process of gaining their knowledge directly so that students are easier to remember and interpret.
