The Influence of Inquiry Learning Model on Student’s Scientific Attitudes in Ecosystem Topic at MTS. Daarul Hikmah Sei Alim (Islamic Junior High School) Asahan

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the influence of Inquiry learning model on student's scientific attitudes in ecosystem material at MTs (islamic junior high school) Daarul Hikmah Sei Alim Asahan. The research method used was quasi experiment with 3 randomly determined classes sample taken by cluster random sampling technique. The research instrument used was a questionnaire of scientific attitudes related to the ecosystem. Data analysis technique used was Covariat Analysis at significant level α = 0.05 with the help of SPSS 22. The results showed there was significant influence of learning model on student's scientific attitude which taught by guided inquiry model (average 77.60), it significantly higher than modified free inquiry model (average 63.80) and conventional learning model (average 48.27). As a follow up,based on the results of this study, teachers expected to be able to apply guided inquiry model in ecosystem topics as an effort to improve student's scientific attitudes.

The effectiveness of animal physiology practical book based on guided inquiry model

“…It makes student interaction in learning better. The scientific attitude of students learning with inquiry builds better social interaction (Sitorus & Edi, 2017). In addition, guided inquirybased animal physiology guides are able to guide students to thorough, responsibility and cooperation with the stages that already exist in the guide.…”

“…Repetition of systematic and scientific thinking skills is an important ability for students to continue learning inquiry (Boaventura & Faria, 2015). Build knowledge and understanding of how a scientist works is focused on student Inquiry activities (Fikri, Ismah, & Paidi, 2018;Sitorus & Edi, 2017). Thus guided inquiry can help improve student learning outcomes.…”

Guided inquiry laboratory to improve research skills of prospective biology teachers

“…Inquiry lab can help students to solve problems because in learning they are easy to find answers [14], [15]. Meanwhile, the role of lecturers in the inquiry laboratory learning process according to Sitorus, Hasruddin, and Edi [16] and reinforced by Hester et al [17] is to assist and guide students in finding answers to the problems being solved. This learning can train students to reduce 2123 student dependence on lecturers to get the material being studied.…”
