The aim of this study is to determine the influence of inquiry-based teaching approach on pre-service science teachers' laboratory self-efficacy perceptions and scientific process skills. The quasi experimental model with pre-test-post-test control group design was used as an experimental design in this research. The sample of this study included 24 pre-service science teachers. Data were collected using Laboratory Self-Efficacy Scale, The Test of Integrated Process Skills and Interview Form. According to results, the positive influences of inquiry-based teaching approach on pre-service science teachers' laboratory self-efficacy perceptions and scientific process skills have been observed. Participants determined positive thinking to positive effectiveness of inquiry-based teaching approach in interviews.
