Abstract

This study aims to develop learning media based on guided inquiry models to improve students' concepts mastery and creativity in physics learning in senior high schools. The learning media in question is a ripple tank to explain the characteristics of a mechanical wave. Development research with the 4D model (define, design, development, dissemination) was conducted in this study, where the learning media developed met the criteria of validity, practicality, and effectiveness in improving students' concepts mastery and creativity. Evaluation of the learning media validity is carried out through a validation mechanism where the media is validated by 3 validators (media experts), while evaluation of the practicality and effectiveness of learning media through its implementation in class involves students in two schools in Mataram City - Indonesia. The results of the study show that the learning media with the guided inquiry model are valid, practical, and effective in improving students' concepts mastery and creativity in learning physics. The results of further studies are described in this article

Highlights

Studying physics emphasizes a meaningful learning process that can develop th e ability to understand nature scientifically (Susilawati et al, 2015) limited to memorizing activities but understanding (Kartini et al, 2020)
This study aims to develop learning media based on guided inquiry models to improve students' concepts mastery and creativity in physics learning in se nior high schools
Th e effectiveness of learning media is measured from the improvement in students' concepts mastery and creativity after the implementation of learning media based on the guided inquiry model

Summary

Introduction

Studying physics emphasizes a meaningful learning process that can develop th e ability to understand nature scientifically (Susilawati et al, 2015) limited to memorizing activities but understanding (Kartini et al, 2020). The learning process contains elements that are important to pay attention to, namely the learning model and learning media These two elements are interrelated, where the use of certain learning models has an influence on the type of learning media used (Doyan et al, 2015). The material of mechanical waves can be explained through the development of learning media, one of which is the ripple tank media. This medium is used to investigate the motion of mechanical waves on the water surface (Wahyudi, 2016). This media can be implemen ted in the classroom through guided inquiry learning.
