Abstract
A recent issue on Analytical Chemistry laboratory teaching has been on the inability to conduct individual experimentation due to large class sizes and the inadequacy of reagents and equipment in school laboratories. Questions are focused on whether learners develop understanding and attitude when they are not physically involved in physical manipulations. To contribute to this topic, this study exhausted literature involving inquiry demonstration on students’ understanding and attitude. Empirical studies showed that inquiry demonstration enhances students’ understanding and attitude compared to the traditional lecture. However, laboratory work has an advantage in terms of technical and manipulative skills. Throughout the years role-playing, video recordings, and virtual laboratories have been explored in Analytical Chemistry, but there had been no study with the use of inquiry demonstration in this field. This paper suggests that inquiry demonstration is a promising approach with the nature of Analytical Chemistry laboratory and to address the issue of inability to do laboratory work
