The crusade to universalize basic education and improve its quality is now very much on the agenda
of many countries including the developing ones. Meaning that, there is an implication, there is an
overwhelming concern over the quality and relevance of education globally. Undoubtedly, the quality of
education is a direct consequence and outcome of the quality of teachers and teacher education. The
socialization of the child is a long process which requires careful and systematic application of workable
principles as to achieve the desired results. To perhaps improve the student’s academic achievement in biology,
a shift will be necessary from what has traditionally been experienced in the Nigeria classrooms toward more
inquiry teaching practices, which facilitated teaching for meaningful learning. Suffice it to note the importance
of inquiry in the science process, as, allowing students to describe objects and events, ask questions, construct
explanations, test those explanations against current scientific knowledge, and communicate their ideas to
others. This is the contention in this study. The thesis of this study is to contribute to the ongoing debate on
enhancing teaching and learning strategies through innovation and changes in the contemporary epoch of new
world order, thus globalization and technology.
Key words: Curriculum, inquiry, methods, teaching, school science, ,
