description The acquisition of scientific inquiry skills through computer-based scientific inquiry learning environment is a challenge for computer-based learning researcher. The learning process in scientific inquiry learning environment is based on exploratory learning approach, where the student is free to explore their ideas and accumulate their scientific skills. When doing so, the student inherently experiences dissatisfaction with their prior knowledge, and by iteratively exploring into the learning environment, they confirm their new ideas. This process is the core of conceptual change learning process. In the process of conceptual change in learning, a student’s existing knowledge might be changed or fundamentally replaced, is influenced by a student’s affective states during process of learning.
