Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between vocational high school students' problem-solving attitude, problem-solving competency, and learning interest in inquiry-based learning methods after taking an electrical machinery course. The results of this study can also be used as a reference for educators when conducting inquiry-based learning methods. The participants were 30 second-year vocational high students who took an electrical machinery course. Research tools included an inquiry-based instruction interest scale, problem-solving attitude scale, and problem-solving competency scale. After a six-week inquiry-based learning class, it was found that (1) students with more positive problem-solving attitudes had better problem-solving competencies; (2) students with more positive learning interests in inquiry-based learning methods had better problem-solving attitudes; (3) students with more positive interests in inquiry-based learning methods had better problem-solving competency.
