The Effect of the Inquiry Learning Model on Mathematics Learning Outcomes

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Mathematics learning outcomes in learning using the Inquiry model. This study is a true experimental design study. The sampling technique employs the Probability Sampling type, specifically Cluster Sampling (Area Sampling). The sample in this study The subjects were 3rd grade students of Mangunsari 04 Elementary School, Salatiga City as the experimental class and Mangunsari 07 Elementary School as the control class, with a total of 49 students. Data collection was conducted using observation, documentation, and testing methods. Data analysis using descriptive techniques and statistical analysis. The results of the study indicate that there is a significant influence on mathematics learning outcomes using the Inquiry learning model. This is shown after the t-test was conducted, the calculated F value was 0.390 and the significance level was 0.536 or > 0.05. The calculated F value was greater than 0.05; therefore, F was significant. The use of the inquiry learning model emphasized student activities in the learning process, allowing students to find their own answers to a problem being studied.
