This study aims to determine the needs of chemistry teachers in programs aimed at enhancing their pedagogical inquiry competencies (PIC). In line with these objectives, this research was conducted as survey study. The convenience sampling technique was implemented. The survey was carried out by distributing questionnaires online. There were 63 chemistry teachers who filled out the questionnaire. Data were analyzed descriptively. Based on data analysis, it can be concluded that some teachers know inquiry and feel that they have applied this inquiry in their learning. However, it still needs to be improved on the understanding of the meaning of inquiry and how to implement their inquiry knowledge. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a teaching model to increase the PIC of chemistry teachers.
