GUIDED INQUIRY LEARNING MODEL: HOW DOES IT INFLUENCE STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENT?

Abstract

This study aims to find out the physics learning outcomes of students who were taught using guided inquiry learning model. The population of this study were all students of class XI SMA Negeri 1 Binongko. Two classes were taken by using simple random sampling: XI IPA 1 as the experimental class and class XI IPA 2 as the control class. The results of descriptive statistical analysis show that (1) the physics learning outcomes of class XI IPA 1 students who are taught using the guided inquiry learning model are in the high category, with an average score of 22.2 ;(2) physics learning outcomes of students in class XI IPA 2 who are taught using conventional learning models are in the medium category, with an average score of 19.0. Meanwhile, the results of inferential statistical analysis show that (3) the two classes come from a homogeneous normally distributed population, which means that there are differences in the physics learning outcomes of students in class XI IPA 1 who are taught using the guided inquiry learning model and students in class XI IPA 2 taught using the conventional learning model
