THE EFFECT OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY LEARNING MODEL TO SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS ON ELASTICITY AND HOOKE’S LAW TOPIC

Abstract

This research have purpose to know the effect of scientific inquiry learning model on student’s science process skills and student’s learning activity on elasticity and Hooke’s law topic. This research is a quasi experiment using control group pre-test-post-test design. The sampel of theses research consisted of two classes, each contains 30 students. By using total sampling, one class is made as experiment class that uses scientific inquiry learning model, and one class is as control that uses conventional learning model, so class XI science -1 as experiment class and class XI science -2 as control class. The instrument used was a test of science process skills in the form of student’s science process skills in the form of 7 essay test. In the experimental class the average activity of students in the three meeting, are 60.19, 77.59 and 86.67. The learning activity have increase during three times meeting and have average value 74.81 and have good category. The data obtain so scientific inquiry learning model can increase learning activity on elasticity and Hooke’s law topic of SMA Swasta Santa Maria Medan grade XI odd semester A.Y. 2018/2019. The value of the average post-test experimental class was 76.31 and control class was 70.83. Hypothesis with t-test shows the result there was a significant effect of scientific inquiry learning model on student’s science process skills on elasticity and Hooke’s law topic of SMA Swasta Santa Maria Medan grade XI odd semester A.Y. 2018/2019.
