PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN INKUIRI TERBIMBING BERBANTUAN MEDIA PhET UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS SISWA SMP NEGERI 1 SIDOARJO

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDED INQUIRY LEARNING MODELS ASSISTED PhET MEDIA TO IMPROVE SCIENCE PROCESS SKILLS STUDENT OF SMP NEGERI 1 SIDOARJO

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keterampilan proses sains siswa melalui penerapan model pembelajaran inkuiri terbimbing berbantuan media PhET di SMP Negeri 1 Sidoarjo. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan ialah pra-eksperimen dengan one group pretest-posttest design. Penelitian ini melibatkan 17 siswa kelas VII D Tahun Ajaran 2021/2022. Metode pengumpulan data menggunakan observasi, angket, dan tes. Instrumen penelitian berupa lembar observasi keterlaksanaan pembelajaran, tes keterampilan proses sains, dan angket respons siswa. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan kegiatan pembelajaran sudah terlaksana sangat baik pada setiap tahapan. Hasil belajar untuk keterampilan proses sains siswa mengalami peningkatan yang cukup signifikan dilihat dari analisis rerata skor N-gain dengan kriteria sedang. Siswa merespons positif pembelajaran yang telah dilakukan dengan kriteria sangat baik. Berdasarkan uraian di atas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan inkuiri terbimbing berbantuan media PhET dapat meningkatkan keterampilan proses sains .

This study aimed to describe the improvement of students' science process skills by applying a guided inquiry learning model assisted by PhET interactive simulations in one of public Junior High School in Sidoarjo. This study used pre-experimental with a one-group pretest-posttest design. This study involved 17 students of class VII D in the Academic Year 2021/2022. Data collection methods through a observation, questionnaire, and test. The instrument of this study used observation sheets of learning implementation, science process skills tests, and student response questionnaires. The results of this study showed that the learning implementation had been carried out very well at each stage. The learning outcomes of students’ science process skills increased significantly, based on the analysis of the average N-gain score in the medium criteria. Students gave positive responses to the learning that has been done with very good criteria. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that the learning used a guided inquiry model assisted by PhET interactive simulations was able to improve students’ science process skills.
