The Learning of Science Basic Concept by Using Scientifiq Inquiry to Improve Student's Thinking, Working, and Scientific Attitude Abilities

This research was a classroom action research which was conducted intwo cycles, each cycle consists of planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The data used was quantitative data on student observation sheet instruments. The Results of the study which were obtained from the first cycle showed about the students' thinking skills and scientific works. They were categorized as excellent 18.18%, good 22.73%, enough 52.27%, and sufficiently less 6.82%. As for the scientific attitude with a very active category of 11.36%, 43.18% and less active 45.45%. It has not reached indicators of success, so it was necessary to cycle II. Cycle II demonstrated the excellent category 38.63%, 36.36% good, good enough18.18% and less 6.81%. While the scientific attitude in the cycle II was an active attitude 29.54%, active 54.54%, inactive 15.91%. These results show an increase from the cycle I to cycle II. The conclusion of this study were: 1) learning the basic concepts of science with scientific inquiry in students can be conducible applied.2) Learning the basic concepts of science with scientific inquiry can improve thinking ability and scientific work and students' scientific attitude. 3) Learning the basic concepts of science with scientific inquiry be able to explore and develop student creativity in designing simple experiments which can be applied in primary schools

Implementasi Green Living Berbasis Scientific Inquiry pada Pembelajaran IPA terhadap Kinerja Ilmiah Mahasiswa

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui seberapa jauh mahasiswa sebagai calon guru mampu menerapkan green living berbasis scientific inquiry pada pembelajaran IPA untuk anak sekolah dasar. Selain itu mahasiswa mampu mengidentifikasi produk ramah lingkungan, menghasilkan produk ramah lingkungan untuk media pembelajaran IPA, mampu menggunakan produk ramah ramah lingkungan serta mampu menerapkan 5R (Reduce, reuse, recycle, refuse dan repair). Pada penelitian tindakan kelas ini, teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah diskriptif kualitatif. Data yang dianalisis secara diskriptif kualitatif dengan analisis interaktif ini terdiri dari reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan kinerja ilmiah mahasiswa berbasis scientific inquiry pada materi green living ada peningkatan siklus I ke siklus II yaitu nilai ketuntasan pada siklus I sebesar 27,27% dan pada siklus II meningkat 87,8% artinya ada peningkatan sebesar 60%. Ada respon positif mahasiswa terhadap pembelajaran IPA berbasis scientific inquiry yaitu mahasiswa bisa memanfaatkan bahan bekas untuk dijadikan media pembelajaran IPA SD
