        abstract = {Promoting  Real  Australian  Indonesian  Science  Education  (PRAISE)  is  a  collaboration  IndonesiaAustralia pilot project. The project managed by SEAMEO QITEP in Science, in which innovative inquiry 
based science learning resources were developed and piloted in ten junior secondary schools in two areas 
namely  Bandung  City  and  West  Bandung  County,  West  Java  Province,  Indonesia.  This  project  was 
intended to provide an effective curriculum units for running inquiry based science learning activities in 
schools which appropriate with local condition as well as able to generate students with high motivation 
and high achievement in science fields which can be expected to grow as scientists in the future.  Data 
analysis indicated that the  utilization of PRAISE curricular units improves the quality of science learning 
in terms of activeness of students during classes, students? motivation to learn science, students? daring to 
express  their  opinions  during  discussions,  students?  collaborations,  eradicating  classroom  discipline 
problems,  attractiveness  of  learning  activities  as  well  as  providing  opportunity  to  develop  students? 
scientific investigations and to apply their knowledge in daily life. Utilization of PRAISE curricular units 
for science learning also significantly improve students? basic inquiry skills.},
