“…According to Barron and Darling-Hammond [5], "inquiry-based learning constitutes a group of teaching approaches including problem-based learning, project-based learning, designed-based learning which are classified under one umbrella due to their similarities in characteristics" (p. 201). Problem-based learning (PBL) is a pedagogical and learning approach in which students are actively engaged in learning activities that are facilitated by an instructor [6], allowing them to make some level of decisions in the learning process [7,8]. Other researchers define PBL as activities that guide students inquiries, generate meaningful questions, and find answers to discovering new knowledge [9][10][11].…”

Higher educational institutions have utilized problem-based learning (PBL) approaches over the last two decades. The approach has been found to enable educators to adopt different teaching and learning strategies. This study examined how teacher educators have adopted technology integrated PBL in teacher education. The study aimed to understand teacher educators perceptions of adopting the approach in their classrooms. Interviews were conducted with three teacher educators in Ghana. A thematic analysis was used to analyse the data from the interviews. The teacher educators believed integrating PBL into the curriculum emphasizes students learning roles to support their independent and self-directed learning. They also perceived that the PBL approach enabled them to create collaborative learning activities to interact and communicate with students, which can lead to conceptual knowledge development. The educators also indicated challenges such as a lack of beliefs and competence, inadequate resources, and limited time allocation for school inquiry-based lessons.

“…The inquiry model provides students with the freedom to develop their own understanding, but it also means that teachers have less control over what students learn, which could pose challenges in covering all planned material (Costes-Onishi & Kwek, 2023). Furthermore, some students feel awkward with open and flexible learning models such as inquiry, so students with more structured learning styles or different learning preferences experience difficulties (Nzomo et al, 2023). Students need extra guidance from teachers when going through the inquiry process, especially when facing difficulties in formulating questions or interpreting experimental results (de Jong et al, 2023).…”

Environmental literacy related to the utilization of medicinal plants in the community provides a foundation for the younger generation to take an active role and form an attitude of care and responsibility for environmental sustainability. The current research aims to introduce the Inquiry-Etnobotany (IEb) learning model to enhance students' environmental literacy. The research design applied a pretest-posttest control group design to assess the effectiveness of the IEb model intervention, comparing it with the inquiry and discovery learning models. Upon analysis, notable differences emerged between the pre-test and post-test results across various learning models. Specifically, the IEb model exhibited a substantial difference, indicating significant progress in student outcomes. Similarly, the inquiry model showcased an improvement, while the discovery learning model displayed a slightly smaller change. Furthermore, the disparities between pre-test and post-test outcomes were evident across the different schools involved in the study. The IEb model has a significant impact on enhancing students' environmental literacy. However, the research results in each school also demonstrate that various learning models enhance students' understanding of environmental issues despite the different levels of effect.

“…Jenis pembelajaran ini melibatkan siswa untuk melakukan penelitian secara sistematis untuk menemukan wawasan, informasi, atau pengetahuan baru dengan menggunakan pendekatan kritis, logis, dan analitis. Diharapkan bahwa penerapan modelnya akan meningkatkan kualitas hasil belajar sains IPA serta pembelajaran siswa yang lebih berfokus pada proses inkuiri ilmiah, yang akan meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir ilmiah mereka (Dmoshinskaia et al, 2021;Jiang et al, 2018;Nzomo et al, 2023;Radu et al, 2023). Model ini kemudian dianggap tepat untuk mengajarkan aktivitas proyek sains IPA kepada siswa.…”

Penerapan suatu model dalam aktivitas pembelajaran memungkinkan terwujudnya interaksi edukatif antara guru dan siswa termasuk antara siswa dengan siswa lainnya. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis efektivitas projek pembelajaran sains IPA siswa sekolah dasar di era Merdeka Belajar melalui implementasi model guided inquiry learning. Metode penelitian Quasi Experimental Design yang tidak mensyaratkan sampel dipilih secara acak (random). Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh siswa SD Negeri Kabinuang dengan sampel kelas V SD. Data penelitian dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan instrument tes, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dengan cara statistik deskriptif dan teknik analisis data statistik inferensial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penerapan model guided inquiry learning berpengaruh secara positif dan signifikan terhadap hasil belajar IPA siswa.
