Research Design
The study employs a cross-sectional research design to investigate the development of inquiry-
based learning activities for understanding plant and animal cells among grade 7 students. This
design allows for the collection of data from a single point in time, offering a snapshot of
students' current understanding and engagement with the learning activities. Data will be
gathered through surveys, assessments, and observations conducted simultaneously across
multiple classrooms. By examining students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding plant and
animal cells at one specific moment, the study aims to identify any patterns, trends, or
correlations among variables. Analysis will involve both qualitative methods, such as thematic
analysis of open-ended responses, and quantitative techniques, including statistical analysis of
survey data. Findings will contribute to the refinement and optimization of inquiry-based
learning activities tailored to the needs of grade 7 students in comprehending plant and animal
cells.
