Preliminary study in the student worksheet development using inquiry based learning model with science process skills approach for physics learning of second grade high school

Abstract

Physics learning is expected to involve direct activity of students in the investigation process to build their knowledge. But in fact, learning is still teacher centered and the involvement of students in the learning process is still low. To solve that problem, need to use teaching materials in the form of student worksheet to guide students to developing and implementing the concept independently. The research aims to describe the preliminary study of student worksheet development. This research includes descriptive research and instrument used are questionnaire and interview sheet. Research subjects are physics teacher and students of second grade high school 2, 3, and 7 Padang, West Sumatera. And then, the results of the preliminary study described. First, the competence of knowledge and skill students needs improvement. Second, the use of learning models and approaches that involve students direct activities have not been optimally carried out by the teacher. Third, the available student worksheet have not optimally to guided students in developing and implementing the concept independently. This preliminary study describes the need for the development of student worksheet using the inquiry based learning model with science process skills approach for physics learning of second grade high school.
