Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the effect of inquiry-based learning through the 5E model towards student's science literacy skills and student achievement through the online learning environment which is Google Classroom application for Science subjects. A quantitative research design, preexperimental study of a one group pre and post-test method was adopted in this study. The data collection process took about four weeks where a total of 30 students were selected as the sample of this study. The sample of this study consisted of Year 6 students selected through purposive sampling technique.

The findings also found that students' Science literacy skills are encouraging where 80% of students showed that they can focus on completing assignments after going through an inquiry-based learning environment in the Google Classroom application. Finally, the study also dem onstrates that there is a significant difference between pre and post-test average scores in student Science achievement. In conclusion, through this study, researchers found that inquiry-based learning through the 5E model can improve student's Science literacy skills and Science learning achievement through Google Classroom application.
