The research objective was to determine the effect of the inquiry method on student's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor abilities in science learning. The problem in this research isthe student's cognitive, affective and psychomotor abilities are not maximal in learning science.This type of research is experimental research. The design used in this research is True Experimental Designs with the type of Pretest-Posttest Control Group Designs. The research sample consisted of 50 students. The research instruments were questions (cognitive) and observation sheets (affective and psychomotor). Student's cognitive abilities in the experimental class showed a significant difference compared to the control class. Obtained L 0 = 0.4049 (α = 0.05) with L table = 0.206 so that the data population is not normally distributed. Then performed a difference test using U Mann-Wihitney obtainedU tabel = 81>U count = 70 so that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. Affective ability obtained L 0 = 0.2671 (α = 0.05) with L table = 0.206 so that the data population is not normally distributed. Performed the U Mann-Whitney testobtained U tabel = 99 ˂ U count = 139 so that there is no difference in affective ability in the control and experimental classes. The normality test on psychomotor abilities obtained L 0 = 0.4049 (α = 0.05)>L table = 0.206 so that the data population was not normally distributed. Furthermore, the U Mann-Whitney test was carried out, it was obtained U tabel = 99 >U count = 89, it was concluded that there were differences in student's psychomotor abilities in the control class and the experimental class.
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.
