Abstract

This study aimed to know the effect of model inqury for the learning outcomes of students in the subject matter vibrations and waves in the eighth grade 2^nd semester of SMP Negeri 1 Lima Puluh T.P. 2013/2014. The study population was all student of class VIII SMP Negeri 1 Lima Puluh consists of seven classes and the sample consists of two classes, specifically control class and experimental class taken by cluster random sampling.
