Abstract

Purpose of the study: This research aims to describe the improvement in students' learning motivation by applying the inquiry method in chemistry lessons for Class X at State Senior High School 1, XIII Koto Kampar District. Methodology: In this research, the subjects are the students of Class X at State Senior High School 1, XIII Koto Kampar District, consisting of 41 students. The object of this study is the implementation of the inquiry method in learning. The data obtained in this study are qualitative data, collected through observation and documentation techniques. Data collection tools include tests, observation sheets for teacher and student activities. The research procedure follows an action study framework conducted in two cycles. Each cycle comprises planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The success indicators are measured by achieving predetermined motivation criteria. Main Findings: In Cycle I, the achievement of the indicators was only 16.67%, while in Cycle II, it reached 100%, meeting the targets set by the researcher. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the use of inquiry strategies effectively increases students' learning motivation in Class X of State Senior High School 1, XIII Koto Kampar District in the chemistry lesson on the fundamental laws of chemistry. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides novelty by showing the effectiveness of the inquiry method in increasing students' learning motivation in chemistry lessons, especially in understanding the basic laws of chemistry, in a high school environment.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this research is to improve student learning outcomes in learning atomic structure at Dar El Hikmah Pekanbaru Vocational School by using the think pair share type cooperative learning method. Methodology: The subjects of this research were 24 class X students majoring in Information Technology at Dar El Hikmah Vocational School, Pekanbaru, consisting of female students. In carrying out this classroom action research, there are two types of data collected by researchers, namely quantitative data and qualitative data. This research data collection technique uses tests, observation and interviews. The data analysis technique for this research was analyzed descriptively using the percentage technique of students' absorption of the material per cycle. Main Findings: The results of data analysis show that in general students' absorption of learning material shows an increase, this is based on the evaluation results of 61.7% who have not reached the minimum completeness criteria in cycle I, increasing to 67.54% in cycle II and increasing again to 76.7% in cycle III. The average value of daily test results has also increased. This is shown by the average daily class test results from 60.6, which had not yet reached the minimum completeness criteria score in the previous year, to 73.33 after implementing Think Pair Share type cooperative learning. From the research results it can be concluded that implementing Think Pair Share type cooperative learning can improve student learning outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research is to determine the effectiveness of implementing Think Pair Share type cooperative learning to improve chemistry learning outcomes regarding atomic structure.
