The aim of this research was to examine the effect of guided inquiry-based learning approach compared with that of traditional teacher-centered instruction on gifted and talented eighth grade students{\textquoteright} understanding of acids-bases concepts and motivation towards science learning. A nonequivalent control group design was used in the research. The participants were 40 gifted and talented eighth grade students from one Science and Art Center in Ankara/Turkey. There were two different groups: the experimental group and the control group. The Acids and Bases Diagnostic Test and Students{\textquoteright} Motivation towards Science Learning questionnaire were used in the research as data collection tools. Before and after the implementation, the tools were administered as pre-test and post-test to both groups. For data analysis the independent samples t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used. The results showed that there was a statistical significant difference between the groups in favor of the experimental group.}, keywords = {achievement, acids-bases concepts, gifted and talented students, guided inquiry-based learning, motivation towards science learning}, issn = {1648-3898}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.33225/jbse/17.16.994}, url = {http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1513971383.pdf}, author = {Sinem Din{\c c}ol {\"O}zg{\"u}r and Ayhan Y{\i}lmaz} }
