Guided Inquiry Model Assisted with TPACK Strategy Influence Students Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to improve physics learning outcomes of SMA Negeri 11 Banda Aceh students through the implementation of guided inquiry TPACK strategy. The background of this research is students' underutilization of computer laboratory and science laboratory equipment. The research approach used was a pre-experimental design with one pretest and one posttest group. This research sample included 31 students from class XI MIPA 3. The results revealed a considerable improvement in problem-solving ability in Physics after using the guided inquiry TPACK method. The average score of the students' pretest was 33.55, but it increased to 88.06 in the posttest. The test data analysis indicated an average N-Gain score of 81.88%, this shows the positive influence of the implementation of TPACK learning method on student learning outcomes. By applying the guided inquiry TPACK method, this study contributes to overcome the issue of low physics learning outcomes at SMA Negeri 11 Banda Aceh. It is intended that this research would encourage Physics teachers to apply the TPACK technique in their classrooms in order to improve student learning outcomes and employ laboratory equipment to its fullest potential.
