PENGARUH PENERAPAN METODE INKUIRI TERHADAP SIKAP ILMIAH SISWA PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPA SEKOLAH DASAR (Penelitian Quasi Eksperimen Pada Pokok Bahasan Energi Listrik dan Perubahannya Untuk Siswa Kelas VI Sekolah Dasar)
Abstract: This research is
motivated by the lack of attention from the teacher to the learners’ scientific
attitude in learning science at elementary school. This happened because of the
lack of balance in developing the nature of learning science which resulted in
the students’ low scientific attitude. The researchers applied inquiry based
learning method. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the
scientific method of inquiry on the attitudes of students in learning science.
This research used quasiexperiment designthrough Non-equivalent control group
design. The subject of this study focused on 30 students of class VI A and 34
students of class VI B. The research instrumentsare a questionnaire to measure
the students’ scientific attitude in the
pretest and posttest, and the observation sheet. The
empirical result demonstrated; 1) an increase in the dimensions of scientific
attitude in control class with N-Gain value of 0.15 which are included in the
low category; 2) an experimental class increased scientific attitude with
N-Gain 0.53 which are included in the category; 3) There are significant
differences to the scientific attitude of sixth grade students of primary
school in the experimental class who obtained learning by using the methods of
inquiry and control classes by applying the conventional approach. The results
from analysis test, the average difference in gain, with a P value <α (H1
acceptable), showing that there were differences in scientific attitude of
students because of the effect of applying the method of inquiry. This research
is expected to contribute to education, especially the improvement of primary
school science teaching.
