The present investigation was intended to discern the effectiveness of WebQuest (WQ) Integration with Inquiry Training Model (ITM) on achievement in physics at IX grade level. The current research is of experimental type and the study sample comprised of 459 students. Three modes of instruction were applied- Traditional Teaching Method (TTM), Inquiry Training Model (ITM) and WebQuest Integration with ITM (WQ & ITM). Achievement test for physics employed as pre-test before teaching and as post-test after teaching in all the three groups for accumulating data. Results signified that students taught through ITM and WebQuest Integration with ITM exhibit higher academic achievement as compared to the students of Traditional Teaching Method group. It is also found that the students taught with WebQuest Integration with ITM gain better academic achievement as compared to the students of ITM group. No significant difference has been observed in the gain scores of Academic Achievement between male and female learners. Also, no significant difference has been found in the interaction effect of modes of instruction and gender on the gain scores of Academic Achievement in Physics.
