Analysis of Student Difficulties and Learning Outcomes with Guided Inquiry Learning Model

Abstract

This study aims to analyzed the guided inquiry learning model of students' chemistry learning outcomes at SMA Negeri 8 Semarang. This research method used descriptive analysis. Data analysis techniques in this study were conducted with a literature review. Data collection methods were carried out by observation, questionnaire distribution, documentation, teacher interviews, and student interviews. This research instrument consists of observation sheets, questionnaires, and interview sheets. The results of the study showed that students still had difficulty in the chemical learning material, therefore the right learning model was needed to improve student learning outcomes, one of them was by applying the guided inquiry learning model. Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that the guided inquiry learning model can help overcome student learning difficulties in chemistry learning and could improve student learning outcomes in school.

Exploring Barriers to Teaching Science to Hearing Impaired Learners in Lesotho Secondary School

“…This educational practice is grounded in the perspective of Ahmad, Bokhari, and Waqar (2020), who argue that science imparts critical skills essential for learning, enabling HIL individuals to tackle the evolving challenges of the world. This aligns with Dewi & Wardani's (2018) assertion that proficiency in science subjects empowers learners to address real-life issues, as it equips them with highorder skills such as observation, critical thinking, and analytical capabilities. Being equipped with these crucial skills not only enables individuals to be problem solvers but also allows them to be lifelong learners.…”

“…With this approach, learners' differences are considered while actively engaging them in learning. Another approach advocated for the teaching of science is the use of experiments which assists learners to engage in deep learning of concepts and acquire high-order skills (HOS) such as observation and analysis (Dewi & Wardani, 2018). With this, learners are discouraged from recalling facts and are not considered passive receivers of information.…”

“…The learners' eagerness to learn is an important aspect that needs to be considered since it increases their opportunities to learn. Another approach hailed as being effective when teaching HIL is the use of experiments that enable learners to acquire scientific skills (Dewi & Wardani, 2018), which are essential for solving the ever-changing problems of this world.…”

ICT Based Chemistry Learning Innovation To Improve Student's Creativity In The Digital Era

“…Education is not only aimed at increasing the competence of knowledge or science in students, but education also acts as an agent of change, changes in attitudes, thinking processes, and ability to solve problems [8]. Science is developing from time to time.…”

“…One of the supporting factors of a teaching and learning activity is media and teaching materials. Teaching materials are materials presented by educators, which can be in the form of books or materials directly delivered by educators can improve students' critical thinking skills [8]. Chemistry is a branch of science that examines the structure, composition, properties, and changes of matter [15].…”
