The research method used is quasi experimentwith sample as much as 3 classes, those are takenby using the technic of cluster random sampling.Guided inquiry based learning model is taught in class X₂, modified free inquiry based learning modelis taughtin classX₅, and traditional based learning model is taughtin class X₃. The instrument is used in this study islearning outcome test in form multiple choice. The techniqueof data analysis used in this study isanalysis covariatbyusingthe program of SPSS 21.0 for Windows. The study result showed that there was effect ofinquiry based learning modelon students’ learning outcome (F=6.58 ; P=0.002). Students’ learning outcome that were taught by guided inquiry based learning model(73.36±11.443) was highestthanmodified free inquiry based learning model(67.27±12.050) was higherthan traditional based learning model (64.00±13.561).
