Abstract
Teachers' teaching methods are an important factor in influencing students' learning outcomes. However, some teaching methods are not yet widely used. The objectives of this research are (1) to understand the effectiveness of the implementation of an inquiry-based learning (IBL) method to improve learning outcomes in the biology subject, and (2) to understand the interest and knowledge of students after practicing IBL. The study was conducted in a New Generation School of Preah Sisowath High School with a total of 72 participants from two different classes. The research lasted 10 weeks. It used quantitative research tools, such as a pre-test, post-test, and questionnaire based on a Likert scale. Data analysis was performed in Microsoft Excel to calculate the mean, standard deviation, and p value. The research results showed that, through the implementation of IBL, students’ post-test results had an average score of 33.83, while through the implementation of a traditional method, the average score was 24.57 (p<0.001). Based on the research results, the implementation of IBL enabled students to have better learning outcomes than the traditional teaching and learning method. After implementing IBL, students were satisfied with the practice and developed their knowledge and skills. Overall, the use of IBL not only increased students’ learning outcomes but also helped them develop their experiment skills, collaboration, and responsibility for their work.
