The Effect of Guided Inquiry Learning and Cognitive Style on Science Learning Achievement

Abstract

This research was aimed to analyze the effect of interaction between guided inquiry learning and cognitive style on students' science learning achievement. This study was a quasi-experiment with a 2×2 factorial design. The study was done with the fifth grade students in Singaraja City. The sample was selected using multi stage random sampling and 4 elementary schools were selected for the experimental group (n=132) and another 4 for the control group (n = 107). The experimental group used guided inquiry learning and the control group used conventional teaching model. The study used science learning achievement test and MFFT cognitive style test as the instruments for collecting the data. The result of hypothesis testing showed that: 1) there is a significant difference in science learning achievement between those who learned with guided inquiry learning model and those who learned with conventional teaching; and 2) there is a significant effect of interaction between guided inquiry learning model and cognitive style on students' science learning achievement. Guided inquiry learning is more optimal in increasing students' learning achievement if it is implemented to students with reflective cognitive style than to those with impulsive cognitive style.

The Analysis of Guided Inquiry Learning Model Influence towards Primary School Students Science Learning Outcomes

“…This statement shows that in the learning process using the guided inquiry model students will actively think critically, creatively, and based on logic in solving a problem through teacher guidance. Winarni also shared a similar opinion (Kurniawan, 2013;Margunayasa et al, 2019) which in his research states that through guided inquiry learning students learn to make maximum use of their abilities in finding out and solving problems systematically, critically, logically and analytically so that they are more confident in formulating and answering questions. Other opinions were also conveyed by (Sukma & Ibrahim, 2016;Leonard & Nwanekezi, 2018) in his research revealed that guided inquiry learning is a student-centered learning model that directs student activities so that they can develop ideas, knowledge and conceptual understanding by engaging in assignments, while in learning activities the teacher acts as a facilitator.…”

Guided Inquiry Model with the REACT Strategy Learning Materials to Improve the Students’ Learning Achievement

“…This is compatible with the research by Hitijahubessy which declare that the guided inquiry learning model is very effective to improve physics learning achievement of high school students on heat material, and the research by Hakim which state that the science physics learning with guided inquiry model is a very practical and effective way to improve the students' learning achievement that can be demonstrated by understanding student's concepts, student's psychomotor skills, and student's character which include discipline and responsibility. Margunayasa and his friends in their journal also concluded that the guided inquiry learning is more optimal to improve the students' learning achievement (Hitijahubessy, 2019;Hakim et al, 2015;Margunayasa et al, 2019). The REACT strategy is very effective to improve the students' learning achievement and gives a fairly high influence that is equal to 62% (Latifah et al, 2017).…”

Efetivitas Metode Inquiry Learning Dalam Meningkatkan Kemampuan Analisis Pada Materi Ipa Siswa Kelas Iii SDN Tlogoangung

“…Di tingkat sekolah dasar masih banyak guru yang menekankan proses menghafal daripada meminta siswa mereka untuk melalui proses penemuan mereka (Margunayasa, Dantes, Marhaeni, & Suastra, 2019). Model pembelajaran atau ekspositori yang dianggap sebagai salah satu penyebab ketidakmampuan dalam kemampuan analisis dalam informasi yang sulit didapatkan.…”
