Abstract: This research aims to explore the impact of inquiry-based teaching methods on the practical abilities of students majoring in rehabilitation therapy technology, and the research population covers the 2023 first-year students majoring in rehabilitation therapy technology at Yunnan College of Economics and Trade and Foreign Affairs Vocational College. Simple random sampling was used in this research. This research aims to achieve three objectives: (1) To investigate the differences between inquiry-based and traditional teaching methods in enhancing students' practical abilities. (2) To research how inquiry-based teaching methods enhance students' practical abilities. (3) To explore the students' satisfaction with inquiry-based and traditional teaching methods in enhancing students' practical abilities. Research tools included lesson plans, questionnaires, tests, and perspective surveys, with data analyzed using mean value (M), standard deviation (S.D.), and t-value. The findings were as follows: (1) For the experimental group M=4.31, S.D.=0.83, showing that the inquiry-based teaching method can significantly improve students' practical skills, (2) For the experimental group M=83.20, S.D.=9.89, by creating situations, open classrooms, cooperative inquiry, and practical application. The final grade of the experimental group was significantly better than that of the control group. (3) For the experimental group M=4.30, S.D.=0.87, Shows higher student satisfaction with inquiry-based teaching methods. The inquiry-based teaching method can significantly improve the practical skills and comprehensive quality of rehabilitation therapy technology students, stimulate their interest in learning, and is conducive to improving the teaching effect.
