Abstract

<p>This research was conducted to (1) produce science material learning based Authentic Inquiry Learning which is appropriate to improve problem solving and students scientific attitude; (2) know the potency of developing scientific attitude in science learning material based authentic inquiry learning; and (3) know the potency of developing scientific attitude in science learning material based authentic inquiry learning. The research method was Research and Development (R & D), by pointing to Four D models and Borg & Gall Model. There were 4 main phases (define, design, develop, disseminate) and additional phases (preliminary field testing, main product revision, main field testing, and operational product revision). The instruments used included product validation questionnaire, problem solving test, observation sheet of problem solving, and scientific attitude questionnaire. Result data of validation, problem solving test, scientific attitude questionnaire were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that : (1) science learning material based authentic inquiry learning that was developed was considered as very good by expert lecturers and teachers, and it was appropriate to use in learning process; (2) science learning material based authentic inquiry learning could improve students’ problem solving; (3) science learning material based authentic inquiry learning could improve students’ scientific attitude.</p>

Summary

Introduction

The demands include students that need a mind, verbal and written communication, team work, creativity, research skill, and problem solving to compete and grow well in the future. Education environment does not facilitate to teach those skills to students. Students are clever on text, but poor in applying. Students are less at socializing in real life, strange with learning context to the real life and strange towards the conceptualization process, so they claim science as pure theory. Students do not understand the benefit and Heuvelen (Wijayanto, 2011) presented result survey done by American Institute of Physics in the United States that the most commonly used competence for workers were competence in problem solving, team work, and communication. As the resulting survey done by Council Science and Technology in British showed that about 30% workers used science in some of their working aspects and problem-solving skill was
