This study explored how the C3 inquiry arc and inquiry design model enhance learning outcomes, such as learning ability, motivation, and problem-solving skills, in sixth grade social studies. A quasi-experimental design was used, where qualitative findings supplemented quantitative ones. The participants were four sixth-grade students in an elementary school in Taoyuan City. Treatment and control groups participated in different learning activities. The intervention was conducted over 12 lessons. Problem-solving skills were assessed, and the contents of inquiry design model discussion sheets and worksheets were analyzed. The key findings include the following. (1) In problem-solving tests, no significant differences were observed between the groups in identifying solutions and applying strategies, although performance among low-achievers improved in the experimental group. (2) The experimental group demonstrated significantly better skills in collecting information, evaluating problem-solving plans, and conducting evaluations compared with the control group. (3) Classroom performance improved and students improved their ability to develop arguments to support their perspectives. |
