Abstract:

Explosions are occurred all over the world, especially in sociological, technological and economical spheres at the faster rates. The process of education channelizes the students to acquire knowledge and skills to survive in this dynamic world. Science education needs to challenge this situation through the development of the little scientist who is able to generate, invent new ideas and concepts in the light of inquiry activities. Scientific skills which are emerging out of the effective processes are the backbone of all emerging scientific theories and investigations. Scientific skills like problem solving, critical and creative thinking etc. which incorporates self reflection and intrinsic motivation will help the learners to accomplish desired aims and objectives. Scientific process skills are broadly transferable in new situations and more permanent in nature. In the present study the researcher intend to explore the possibility of meta-cognition and goal orientation of learners which are the real facts that lead learners for the fulfilment of science process skills through Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning Instruction (POGIL) environment.
