      abstract = {The study investigated the main and interaction effect of guided inquiry and conventional method on students? academic achievement in Chemistry in Calabar Education Zone, Cross River State of Nigeria. The study adopted a pretest and post-test quasi experimental design. One research question and one corresponding hypothesis guided the study. The population comprised 2,184 SS2 students while a multi-stage sampling procedure was employed to select 127 students for the exercise. Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) with 50 multiple choice items was used for data collection. Data collected were tested at .05 level of significant using three-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results of the analysis shows that there is no significant main effect of school location and teaching methods on students? achievement in Chemistry. It equally shows that there exist no significant interaction effect of school location, gender and teaching method on students? academic achievement in Chemistry. Based on the results, it was therefore concluded that there is no significant main effect of guided inquiry and lecture methods on students? interest and academic achievement in chemistry. The interaction between teaching methods and gender as well as school location was not significant for academic achievement and recommendations were made among which is; guided inquiry among other innovative teaching methods should be applied by teachers in the teaching of Chemistry.},
