Abstract

Science learning must be changed by applying real and active science process skills which are shown by students being able to understand the use of tools, methods, and procedures and apply them in the discovery process and communicate them based on the evidence they get. The purpose of this study was to see the impact of the use of the inquiry model on science process skills and student learning outcomes. The research method used is a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods designed using a pre-test-post-test control group. The samples of this research were 7th-grade junior high school students. The length of the research process is 12 weeks. The results showed that there were significant differences between the two groups. This indicates that the inquiry model has a positive impact on students' science process skills. This was also accompanied by positive results on student learning outcomes in the group using the inquiry model. The conclusion is that quantitatively the fact that the inquiry learning model can improve science process skills and student learning outcomes is found. Optimizing the application of this model is needed to support progress in the education quality.

Abstract

This study aims to develop guided inquiry-based science learning tools to enhance the critical thinking skills of junior high school students on the topic of additive and addictive substances. The research employed a development method using Tessmer’s formative evaluation model, which includes the stages of validation, practicality testing, and effectiveness testing. The developed learning tools consist of lesson plans (RPP), student worksheets (LKPD), and instructional materials. Expert validation results indicated that the tools are in the "highly valid" category, with an average percentage score of 92.5%. The practicality of the tools was reflected in the high implementation of learning activities, ease of use by teachers, and positive student responses. Effectiveness testing showed a significant improvement in students’ critical thinking skills, with an average N-Gain of 0.49 (moderate category). These findings demonstrate that the guided inquiry-based learning tools are not only theoretically and practically feasible but also have a positive impact on the enhancement of students’ critical thinking skills. Therefore, these tools can serve as an alternative solution for implementing instruction that emphasizes both content mastery and the development of students’ competencies.
