2007 revised science curriculum includes Open-Inquiry approach to increase students' interest in scienceand build up creativity, by having students choose the topic which they are interested in and study iton their own. To contrive effective instruction strategy of Open-Inquiry, we have researched substances,scopes and recommended teaching methods in the national science curriculum. Then we have examinedthe references on the teaching and learning of open inquiry as well as pilot instruction we did forsmall scale. We suggested instruction strategy of open inquiry, planned lessons according to thestrategy, and put them into practice. We gave the test to the students about the Science-RelatedAttitudes and the Ability of Science inquiry and studied about how Science Inquiry approach hasinfluenced the students on their studies. As the results of the study, first, we found out that those whohad an experience of open inquiry showed meaningful change in the science-related attitude and theability of science inquiry. The result says that the instruction strategy shall be helpful if it is usedproperly. In addition, the strategy can be also useful in teaching gifted in science as well as generalstudents.
