Student Needs to Practicum Guidance in Physiology of Animals Based on Guided Inquiry

Abstract

The achievement of the subject of animal physiology requires that the students actively and creatively find their knowledge independently in understanding the concepts, theories, physiological processes, decompose, assemble, compare and modify physiological processes in relation to the fluctuation of environmental factors through practicum activities. The achievement of this lesson has not been fully realized because the learning resources used can’t guide, direct and make the independent students achieve their learning achievement and the practical handbook used has not been able to lead the students active and creative in finding their own knowledge. The practical handbook used so far consists only of the introduction of materials, work steps and questions. For that, we need to develop guided inquiry guide based on the needs of students. Objectives this study produces a practical handbook that fits the needs of the students. The research was done by using 4-D models and limited to define stage that is student requirement analysis. Data obtained from the questionnaire and analysed descriptively. The questionnaire obtained an average of 88.16%. So the needs of students will guide guided inquiry based inquiry both to be developed.
