IMPROVING SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS USING GUIDED INQUIRY-BASED STUDENT WORKSHEET

Abstract

The use of conventional student worksheets, such as those from publishing companies, the internet, or the ready-made ones where the teacher is not involved in the planning, or preparation process, can cause students to be less active in learning and not meet the needs of students and their learning objectives. This can be overcome by using guided inquiry-based student worksheets, which can increase students' creativity. This student worksheet is very suitable for the needs of students. This paper aims to describe guided inquiry-based student worksheets to improve the science process skills through a review of relevant literature. The results of the literature review explain that guided inquiry-based student worksheets can improve students' science process skills because they are can practice hypothesizing, identifying tools and materials, analyzing data, and concluding investigation results. Based on the results of literary studies, it can be concluded that guided inquiry-based student worksheets can have a positive effect on science learning.
