The practicality of practicum guidance based guided inquiry approach on animals physiology course

Abstract

Development of practical guide is based on the lack of activity, independence, and involvement of students in the implementation of the lab so difficult to construct the understanding of physiological concepts and processes according to the demands of learning achievement. This study aims to analyze the practicality of Practicum Guidance Based Guided Inquiry Approach on Animal Physiology Course. This study uses 4-D model, which consists of four stages, namely define, design, develop and disseminate. The practical analysis is one of the developing stages. Practicality analysis is based on results or data collected through a questionnaire of 62 students and 2 lecturers of Animal Physiology. The practical analysis includes aspects of ease of use, time of execution, interpretation, and equivalence. The results showed that the average of practicality percentage of lecturers was 79.47% and students were 77.00% and both were on practice criteria. The conclusion of the research is Guided Practicum Guidance Based Guided Inquiry on Animal Physiology Course practically used in the implementation of Physiology of Animal Practice in Biology Education Studies Program STKIP PGRI West Sumatra.
