Student responses to the development of online learning device based guided inquiry in mechanical waves matter

Abstract

Online learning is an interactive activity with virtual application devices. This online learning has been developed in the concept of mechanical wave with Guided Inquiry learning model and scientific approach in the form of teaching device such as Learning Implementation Plan (RPP), Student Worksheets (LKS), assessment design, materials and sample questions. The purpose of this research is to describe the necessary and feasibility of online learning device based guided inquiry by exploring students’ responses developed to face the education challenges of 21st century on global pandemic era in remote areas with a research model 4D development. The benefit of this research is to support students in implementing distance learning. Assessment of the feasibility of the device is carried out by the validator experts with an average score is 81.9% for media, learning is 75.0% and 82.5% for material. This research was applied to 57 students. The result, stated the learning device with positive responses from students 81.12%. This means that students can follow by using and simulating online learning experiments. So, it is stated that the online learning device based guided inquiry in mechanical waves matter are deemed appropriate and required by students to support distance learning.
