Abstract


Inquiry-based learning is fundamental for the development of higher order thinking skills that guides learners to inquire meaningful questions that led to relevant answers, therefore awaken learners’ curiosity and wonder. Re-cent ameliorations in technology have captivated the enthusiasm of both educators and researchers to develop inquiry-based classroom activities that emphasize the application of educational technology in the domain of school science education. Thus, we have designed a learning application “AIBASE”, which assists primary school students in generating hypotheses during Science experiments. The instructional framework was used to scru-tinize the effectiveness of using “AIBASE” in aiding the learning process. The results implied improvements in students’ performance level. In addi-tion, this paper also highlights the main criteria for inquiry-based learning.
