Application of the Guided Inquiry Model to Improve Student's Motivation and Creativity

Abstract

The application of an attractive learning model is one of the things that affect students' motivation and creativity in learning. The review results so far show that learning activities are still using conventional learning models such as direct learning models. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the guided inquiry learning model in increasing students' motivation and creativity on temperature and heat material at SMAN 4 Wira Bangsa Aceh Barat. The research method used was pre-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. The instrument used in the study consisted of a questionnaire. The results showed that applying the guided inquiry learning model could increase students' motivation in the matter of temperature and heat. Increasing students' learning motivation can be seen from the average N-gain value of 0.6, including the medium category. The results of the average difference test obtained a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference before and after applying the guided inquiry learning model. Then the results of the analysis of indicators on aspects of attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction obtained a score > 80 then included in excellent categories. The application of the guided inquiry learning model can increase students' creativity in the material of temperature and heat. Increasing students' creativity can be obtained an average N-gain value of 0.7, including the high category. The results of the average difference test got a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference before and after applying the guided inquiry learning model. The results of the analysis of indicators through the results of questionnaires and observations consisting of fluency, flexibility, and novelty obtained an average score of > 75, including the high category. The conclusion in this study proves that the guided inquiry model can increase students' motivation and creativity on temperature and temperature heat materials

“…learning. Inquiry learning can increase student motivation (Dani et al, 2021). Some disorders that often arise in the learning process include students not having self-motivation, and a learning environment that is not conducive (Arianti, 2019).…”

Chemistry Motivation of High School Students in Indonesia: Grade Level and Gender Differences

“…One of the most popular forms of survey design in education (Creswell, 2012;. The crosssectional survey type was used because it is in accordance with the research objectives which focus on studying, comparing, and describing participants' attitudes, beliefs, opinions, and behaviors (Dani et al, 2021). This research design was used to examine the motivation of high school students in various schools in Yogyakarta and Bengkulu.…”

“…There are many instruments used to assess the affective side of students (Abdullah et al, 2021;Dani et al, 2021;Dini et al, 2023;Susilawati et al, 2022), in the context of chemistry motivation a familiar and relevant choice is the Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ II). This questionnaire is free to use and licensed for all science educators, including adapting it in the fields of physics, chemistry, and biology education.…”

The Effect of a Guided Inquiry Learning Model With A Scientific Approach in Green Chemistry and Global Warming Material On Students Critical Thinking Ability and Learning Motivation

“…Using a scientific approach in learning involves considering several factors such as students actions, settings, success, and their motivation to learn (Sudria et al, 2018). A study conducted by Dani et al (2021), provides empirical evidence that supports the efficacy of the guided inquiry learning approach in increasing students willingness to learn and fostering their creativity in the context of the concept of heat and temperature. Therefore, the presence of learning motivation serves as a catalyst to increase student engagement, as it has been established that a strong inclination towards learning results in several benefits for students.…”
