Implementation of an guided inquiry learning model in the reaction rate theory to improve the student creative thinking skills

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of guided inquiry learning, student activities, students' creative thinking skills, and student responses after the guided inquiry model implementation on the reaction rate theory. The investigation uses a quantitative descriptive method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The data collection method used the observation method, and the tests were tested using the normality test, Paired Sample T-Test, and n-gain. The subjects of this study were the eleventh-grade student at SMAN 7 Kediri, East Java, Indonesia. It shows that guided inquiry learning to improve creative thinking skills has been carried out well. Students use 16% of the time at meeting 1 and 15% at meeting 2 to practice fluency. 23% and 26% at meetings 1 and 2 to practice flexibility, and 11% of meeting time 1 and 8% of meeting 2 is used to practice elaboration. The students' creative thinking skills increased from before and after applying guided inquiry. There were 8 students categorized as quite creative and 24 others less creative before the learning was carried out. After learning, as many as 11 students were categorized as creative, and 21 others were very creative.

Development of interactive learning media assisted by Padlets on the theme of environmental change to foster student creative thinking skills

“…The contents of the Padlet are also made interactive and interesting by displaying pictures, videos, power points, text, and audio so that students don't feel bored and can motivate students in learning activities. Aimah & Faradila stated that appropriate media is needed so that students will participate in learning with pleasure because there are media that support students' interest in learning so that it will produce a good output [15][16][17]. Padlet learning media also supports students in responding to each question presented because, in the Padlet, there is a comment column feature; through this feature, students can respond to questions posed by the teacher or friends.…”

Effectiveness of Discord Instructional Media Integrated with Flipped Classroom and Guided Inquiry Learning on Reaction Rates on Students Learning Outcomes

“…By carried it in small groups, students are expected to carried out learning collaboratively with their peers (Rodriguez et al, 2020). Collaborative learning through guided inquiry has been proven to improve students' cognitive outcomes and creative thinking skills by actively engaged in the learning process (Delawanti et al, 2022;Nugraheni, 2022).…”

Analysis of Guided Inquiry Learning Devices to Improve Students' Creative Thinking Skills

“…The students often depend on teachers and textbooks as their learning resources. Moreover, they tend to memorize information and are forced to remember or store various information without being involved in understanding the information (Nirmala, 2022).…”
