Kajian tentang Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran Model Inkuiri pada Mata Pelajaran IPS di SMP Negeri 4 Tondano

Abstract

Social studies learning in schools still faces several problems, such as the learning process that emphasizes more on theoretical aspects, the lack of opportunities for students to discover problems related to real life, and learning that is still dominated by teachers. These conditions cause students to be less active in the learning process. Therefore, the application of the inquiry learning model is an alternative to increase student activity and involvement in social studies learning. This study aims to examine the implementation of the inquiry learning model in social studies learning at SMP Negeri 4 Tondano. This study uses a qualitative research method with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants in this study were three social studies teachers. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles and Huberman interactive analysis model which includes data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that: (1) The implementation of the inquiry learning model in social studies learning includes the planning, implementation, and identification of supporting and inhibiting factors. (2) Teachers plan learning by preparing teaching materials, media, and learning steps. (3) Learning is implemented through orientation activities, problem presentation, information collection, and drawing conclusions. (4) Supporting factors include teacher readiness, learning resources, and a conducive learning environment, while inhibiting factors include limited time and student readiness and motivation to learn.
