This research aims to determine the effectiveness guided inquiry learning based of contextual to improve chemistry literacy ability of students. This is an experimental research with pretest-posttest control group design and cluster random sampling as sampling techniques. The samples of this research are two different classes of X MIPA. The ability of chemistry literacy is tested using chemistry literacy test and questionnaire. Data analysis uses T-test, N-gain, classical learning pass, and questionnaire data descriptive analysis. The result of this research provided average score of posttest of chemistry students literacy of experiment group 72.86 and 63.42 for control group. Classical learning pass of experiment group is 78.57% and control group is 38.71%. N-gain analysis result provided the ability of chemistry literacy in every aspect of experiment group is better than control group. T-test result are tcount 3.66 and is bigger than ttable 2.00, it means that the ability of chemistry literacy of students in experiment group is better than the one in control group. Questionnaire analysis result provided around 68% in good category. Based on research results, it can be concluded that by using guided inquiry learning based of contextual, students’ chemistry literacy ability is improved significantly.
The reasearch aim to measure improvement in the understanding concept mathematics abilities after using the Discovery Learning Model. The understanding concept mathematics abilities is one of the important goals in learning, providing an understanding that the material taught to students is not just memorization, but more than that with understanding students can better understand the concept of the subject matter itself. In this study, researchers will use the Discovery Learning model which is one of the learning models that requires students to find and find their knowledge in accordance with their own abilities, so that students' ability to understand concepts can be improved. The results of this research showed there is an increase in students' understanding of mathematical concepts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
