This study was aimed to improve the quality of chemistry learning process, learning outcomes and scientific literacy in electrolyte and nonelectrolyte material by application of guided inquiry with environment learning resources. This classroom action research was conducted at tenth grade of class IPA 2 SMA Negeri 1 Banjarmasin by involving 35 students, a teacher and three observers. Scientific literacy and conceptual understanding data were collected using multiple choice test. Meanwhile, teacher and student activities data were collected using observation sheets. This classroom action had increased quality of teacher activity from moderate to good, students’ activity from less active to active, students’ scientific literacy from moderate to high and chemistry conceptual understanding from 51.42% to 91.42% of completeness level. It was concluded that the guided inquiry with environment learning resource was effective to increase quality of chemistry learning process, students’ learning outcome and scientific literacy. To make the meaningful chemistry learning, it’s importance to use environment learning resources which are close to the students.

This study aims to find out (1) the improvement of students’ critical thinking skills to the application of probing prompting learning models assisted by virtual reality media in colloidal system materials, (2) improvement of students’ learning outcomes against the application of probing learning models assisted by virtual reality media on colloidal system materials, (3) the response of students to the application of probing learning models assisted by virtual reality media on colloidal system materials. tudy pretest-posttest design. This study sample was a student of class XI MIPA 4 at SMA Negeri 8 Kota Banjarmasin. Data collection uses to test and non-test techniques. Data analysis techniques use descriptive and inferential analysis techniques. The results showed that: (1) the application of The Probing Prompting learning model assisted by Virtual Reality media could improve the critical thinking skills of students, (2) the application of the learning model probing prompting assisted by virtual reality media on colloidal system materials can improve students’ learning outcomes, (3) the application of Probing Prompting learning model assisted by Virtual Reality media gets a good response from students.
