Profile of inquiry skills pre-service physics teacher in Aceh

Abstract

This study purposed to explore the inquiry literacy of pre-service physics teacher's skill in Aceh. The subject was 85 pre-service physics teacher from two universities in Aceh. The study used descriptive-quantitative approach, and ScInqLiT instrument to measure the skill of inquiry literacy which is developed by Wenning. Data analyse result showed the average score of formulating the hypothesis is 45,5 % (enough), making prediction is 29,0% (low), designing experiment procedure is 57,0% (enough), scientific investigating is 26,9% (low), analyse and interpreting data is 33,0% (low), applying the numeric and statistic method is 46,6%, explaining unpredictable result is 34,2%, and using technology is 28,5%(low). Over all, the conclusion of inquiry skill of pre-service physics teachers are low and need to be improved for all aspect. The low inquiry skill because they are never be introduced by learning activity, verify experiment design and intellectual skill.
