Implementation of Guided Inquiry Learning Models Aid of LKS to Improve the Competency of Learning Science Biology in Class VIII.D MTsN Padang Panjang

Abstract

Completeness of learning is closely related to the learning process that occurs in schools. The involvement of students as a whole in the learning process affects the ability of students to remember the material being studied, which affects the knowledge, understanding, and skills of students. Inquiry learning is a learning model that encourages students to learn mostly through active involvement with the concepts and principles of conducting experiments that allow them to discover principles for themselves. The purpose of this study was to improve the students' competency in learning science in the affective, psychomotor, and cognitive domains of class VIII D MTsN Padang Panjang through the application of guided inquiry learning models. The research method applied is a classroom action research method with the research subjects of class VIII D MTsN students in the 2015-2016 school year. The percentage of pre-cycle affective competence was 56.21%, cycle I was 78.22%, and cycle II was 88.45%. The percentage of pre-cycle psychomotor competence was 71.88%, the first cycle was 81.94%, and the second cycle was 90.28%. The percentage of pre-cycle cognitive competence was 64.88%, the first cycle was 77.06%, and the second cycle was 80.15%. These data show that the application of guided inquiry learning models assisted by student worksheets can improve students' competency in learning Biology Science.
