Analysis pattern of student communication skills in science process in inquiry learning: study of case study learning in regional schools Jember coffee plantation

Abstract

Based on several other studies no researcher has used a combination of learning models regarding students’ communication skills in inquiry learning especially in science learning that is applied to schools in coffee plantation areas. In inquiry learning methods, students are required to think critically and analytically to find and solve the answers to a problem, but in reality now students still cannot think critically about a question that is especially in material relating to their living environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze the implementation of students’ communication skills in the science process in inquiry learning at Jember coffee plantation area school. The method used in this study is a mixed method, which combines the initial data collection methods and qualitative descriptive methods. This study uses 25 schools around the Jember coffee plantation area. The findings of this study that the implementation of students communication skills in inquiry learning especially science learning is very rarely applied, even no one has applied the combination of models especially in schools located in coffee plantation areas. This study aims on the basis that educators, especially science teachers in coffee plantation areas can be more creative and innovative in developing classroom learning plans. Based on the results of the study, that this learning model can improve student communication outcomes and student learning outcomes so that learning objectives can be obtained.The conclusion is that there is no implementation of communication skills that involve students with the environment around coffee plantations.
