This study aims to determine whether student learning outcomes that follow the learning by utilizing the environment as a source of learning through the inquiry method is better than students who followed the lecture method of learning. Besides, this study aims to describe the activities of students during study progress. The research was conducted in SDN I Sribit. The results of this study indicate that (1) student activities for teaching and learning activities have a good category. This is indicated by the average value of 3.11 student activity. (2) Results of study using the environment as a source of learning through the inquiry method is better than learning outcomes of students using the lecture method. Key words: method of inquiry and student learning outcomes ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah hasil belajar siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran dengan memanfaatkan lingkungan sebagai sumber belajar melalui metode inkuiri lebih baik dibandingkan siswa yang mengikuti pembelajaran dengan menggunakan metode ceramah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan aktivitas siswa selama pembelajaran berlangsung. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di SDN I Sribit. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas IV SDN I Sribit Kecamatan Delanggu Kabupaten Klaten, dengan sampel terdiri dari 2 kelas (kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol), masing-masing berjumlah 31 orang siswa. Pengambilan sampel dengan menggunakan teknik random sampling. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa (1) aktivitas siswa selama kegiatan belajar mengajar mempunyai kategori baik. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh nilai rata-rata aktivitas siswa sebesar 3,11. (2) Hasil belajar dengan menggunakan lingkungan sebagai sumber belajar melalui metode inkuiri lebih baik dibandingkan dengan hasil belajar siswa dengan menggunakan metode ceramah. Hal ini ditunjukkan oleh nilai sig. sebesar 0,000 < 0,05 dan t hitung (6,2650) < t tabel (1,671).

The development of science and technology during the Covid-19 pandemic re-quires universities to prepare their students to have collaborative and problem-solving skills through appropriate learning today, namely, integrating learning with online technology. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of im-plementing collaborative problem-based learning (CPBL) integrated with online learning on student collaborative and problem-solving skills. The research meth-od used was quantitative with a post-test quasi-experimental design involving fourth-semester students in the Early Childhood Education Study Program, Uni-versitas Muhammadiyah Sidoarjo, Indonesia. The effectiveness of implementing CPBL integrated with online learning was analyzed primarily using the t-independent sample test. The study results showed that the implementation of CPBL integrated with online learning effectively improved students’ collaborative and problem-solving skills. This effectiveness especially occurs when construct-ing knowledge, looking for resolution strategies, and evaluating solutions in breakout rooms and collaborative forums and zoom meetings. Meanwhile, the study results recommend that CPBL integrated with online learning can be used as a solution and an essential study for academics to keep familiarizing and prac-ticing collaborative and problem-solving skills that are relatively difficult to im-prove during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Learning models that can specifically support 21st-century skills which are fundamentals and global in nature, especially in higher education, are still not available. The Problem Based Learning (PBL) model and the Collaborative Learning (CL) model have characteristics that have the potential to support these skills. The purpose of the study is to develop a collaborative problem-based learning (CPBL) model. The study's results are five model syntaxes consisting of problem orientation, organization, collaborative problem solving, presentation and discussion, and evaluation. Besides, a model matrix was produced to guide lecturer and student learning activities to achieve fundamental and global 21st-century skills, namely problem solving, critical thinking, and collaboration. The syntaxes and matrix of the model produced are feasible, valid, and practically implemented to produce graduates who have ready and competitive skills. Thus, the developed CPBL model can become an innovative initial role model for learning to support learning at various levels, especially higher education, to produce graduates who have skills that are ready and competitive in the current era, maybe even in the future.   Received: 18 March 2021 / Accepted: 21 May 2021 / Published: 8 July 2021
