Implementation of Guided Inquiry Learning Model to Improve Student's Science Process Skills on Water Rocket Topic

Abstract

This study aims to determine the application of the Guided Inquiry learning model to improve students' science process skills on water rocket material at class XII Science 2 Public High School 107, Jakarta in 2021. Guided inquiry consists of presenting problems, making hypotheses, designing experiments, conducting experiments, analyzing data, and making conclusions. This research method used class-room action research which conducted in 2 cycles, each cycle consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The indicator of the minimum completion criteria of student's science process skills on water rocket topic is 75.00. The results of this study in the first cycle showed that the average score of the student's science process skills on water rocket topic was 70.28. While the result in the second cycle is bigger than the first cycle which is 81.71. From the results obtained, students experienced an increase score and the achievement of minimum completeness criteria indicators. It can be concluded that the implementation of guided inquiry learning models can improve student's science process skills on water rocket topic.
