Investigating the Effectiveness of Inquiry Learning and Direct Learning Models Toward Physics Learning

Abstract

This research proposes to determine the effectiveness of physics learning by comparing physics learning models, namely inquiry learning and direct learning models. This research limited to a review of student learning outcomes taught by using inquiry learning and direct learning. The research instrument consisted of a learning program plan, questions, and worksheets for students with a research period of 5 months. The topic taught of static fluid in class XI of Senior High School 1 Lawa, West Muna regency.This study used a pre-test post-test control group design where this design involved two groups of subjects, one was given experimental treatment (experimental class) and one was not treated (control class). This design consists of three phases: pre-test, application of learning models, and post-test learning. The first phase of pretest learning was tested for initial knowledge. Second phase learning is taught using two learning models in two different classes, namely the inquiry learning model and direct learning model.The third stage of the post-test stage is useful to determine the final ability of students after being taught using inquiry and direct learning in the control class and experimental class. Data analysis techniques use N-gain value. The final test results with the inquiry learning model of students included in the high category (56%), moderate (44%), and low class (0%), while in the final test the direct learning model was (20%) in the high class, (52 %) in the medium category, and as much (28%) in the low class.The conclusions of the study concluded that final tests using inquiry learning were higher than using direct learning with the percentage of effectiveness of 98.37% inquiry learning and 43.37% direct learning.

The Effect of Concept Attainment Model and Mathematical Logic Intelligence on Introductory Chemistry Learning Outcomes

“…In this direct learning model, the role of the lecturer is more dominant so that the lecturer is the only source of information in learning (Wijaya et al, 2012;Merta, 2013). While the involvement of students in the direct instructional model is significantly less or passive as the direct learning process, students are limited to activities receive, view, observed, understand what was, and concluded the subject matter presented directly (Fatmawati et al, 2019;Marheni & Suardana, 2017;Hunaidah et al 2019). Format direct learning model is a lecturer delivering course topic structured in a way to explain concepts and procedures, to check student understanding, the lecturer provides guided exercises and independent exercises.…”

Development of Lesson Plan (LP) with Software Lectora Inspire Assisted Problem-Based Learning in Improving Learning Outcomes for Senior High School

“…In other words, learning outcomes identify what students know and can do at the end of the learning program. Learning outcomes describe the overall goals or goals of participating in activities during the learning process [22]. In addition, learning outcomes interpreted as describing a result that includes aspects of the knowledge, understanding and abilities that students have acquired during the learning process.…”

Analysis of Improving Students' Physics Conceptual Understanding through Discovery Learning Models Supported by Multi-representation: Measurement Topic

“…Besides, applying the learning discovery made the children learn to think the analysis and try to solve the problems they face themselves [9], [15].…”
