The hypotheses that follow are to be tested in this study using 0.05 level of
significance.
1. There is no significant difference in students’ Science achievement using 7E
interest.
Instrumentation
To determine the quality of students’ learning of the two intact groups during the
pretest and posttest, the Mean Percentage Score (MPS) and its descriptive equivalent
below taken from DepEd Memorandum No. 160, s. 2012 was used.

The experimental group, which is taught using the 7E Inquiry-Based Approach, appeared

This could have been due to the fact that 7E Inquiry-Based strategies often provide a
better platform as well as environment for more meaningful learning to take place. The
strategies used in this study encourage active participation on the students’ part while the
teacher assumes the role of a guide and not instructor as is the case in a conventional
science class. Science if often perceived by students as a difficult course. Therefore, any
The results show that there is No Linear Positive Correlation between Students’
Achievement and Interest (Pearson “r” = .183) which means that when the students’
achievement skills are more strengthened and develop, the better they perform in Science.
On the other hand, is such students’ interest are weak, the bigger the chance that they will

leading to the perception of chemistry as a difficult subject include: wide coverage of the
syllabus, students’ background problems, students’ lack of interest in and poor attitude
