The Effect of Guided Inquiry-based Learning with Creative Thingking Ability towards Students’ Scientific Process Skill in Analytical Chemistry Courses

Abstract

Indonesian National Qualification Framework requisite on students’ scientific process skill in analytical chemistry courses is difficult to be satisfied since the content is loaded with calculation and applicative discovery. Overcoming this challenge, investigative study of guided inquiry-based learning with creative thingking ability towards students’ scientific process skill in analytical chemistry courses was done. The implementation was done towards 56 pre-service chemistry teachers. As comparison, conventional learning model was done towards 26 pre-service chemistry teachers using th same courses. The effectivenes was measured using pre and post-test which consisted of fifteen valid and reliable essay items. For statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used and resulted students’ scientific process skill which taught by using guided inquiry-based learning is better than conventional class, especially for upper group of creative thingking ability with average of postest in experimental class is 31.11 meanwhile control class is 18.08 from maximum score is 39. The interaction between learning model with creative thingking model and students’scientific process skill was significant with probability 0.04 lower than selected alpha 0.05. According to these results, innovation of guided inquiry-based learning with creative thingking ability is recommended to improve students’ scientific process skill especially for chemistry courses.
