The Effects of Guided Inquiry Learning with the Assistance of Concept Maps on Students' Scientific Literacy

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of the application of the guided inquiry learning model assisted by concept maps on the scientific literacy of junior high school students in the city of Mataram. The research was conducted through a pretest-posttest design with a non-randomized control group. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The sample of 90 students was divided into three classes, where the first-class applied guided inquiry learning assisted by concept maps, the second class applied inquiry learning without the help of concept maps, and the third class applied conventional learning. All classes were given a pretest and posttest scientific literacy. Data in the form of pretest and posttest scores were analyzed by Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Least Significance Difference (LSD) test at 5% alpha. The results showed that the mean score of students' scientific literacy in the class that applied the guided inquiry learning model assisted by concept maps was significantly higher than the mean score of the conventional class. The conclusion is that there is an effect of the implementation of the inquiry learning model assisted by the concept map method on students' scientific literacy

The Scientific Questioning and Experimental Skills of Elementary School Students: The Intervention of Research-Based Learning

“…This is because the knowledge they are expected to acquire depends on the scope of the curriculum and the decision of the teacher. It is also consistent with Artayasa et al (2021) who stated that guided inquiry is a substitute when students are not yet ready to implement open inquiry.…”

“…It is interesting that some experts argued this learning activity meets the desired science learning goals, when it is not recommended that 9-10 year old's begin at the highest level of open inquiry. The expert opinions are consistent with some previous studies that recommend the use of guided inquiry to replace open inquiry for elementary school students (Di Mauro & Furman, 2016;Artayasa et al, 2017;Artayasa et al, 2021). Some arguments point out that the goal of the elementary school science curriculum does not need students to acquire new knowledge or encounter unexpected results.…”

Effectiveness of STEM-Based Mind Mapping Learning Model to Improve Students' Science Literacy in the Era of Revolution 4.0

“…These results can be seen in Table . 4 the effect size value of each study (d = 1.30; p < 0.00). This result is in line with (Artayasa et al, 2021) the application of the mind mapping model can help students in improving students' science literacy in the era of revolution 4.0. These results are also supported by research (Prastiwi & Haryani, 2018) The mind mapping learning model increases students' motivation and learning process so as to encourage students' literacy in learning.…”

A COVID-19 Roadmap to Promote Health Literacy Derived from the Atlas of Science Literacy

“…Students, too, may find the maps useful, as concept maps help students clarify their knowledge and sort and classify new information by establishing priorities (Novak, 2010). In this sense, Artayasa et al (2021) have recently described that inquiry learning accompanied by concept map-making favors higher scientific literacy than conventional learning. Curriculum planners may also benefit from these maps, especially those international curricula (e.g., Spain) where ideas are not explicitly and systematically structured in the order of increasing complexity when passing longitudinally from one cycle to the next (Criado et al, 2014).…”
