IMPLEMENTASI STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS INQUIRY DALAM PELAKSANAAN PRAKTIKUM BIOLOGI TERAPAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN AKTIVITAS DAN HASIL BELAJAR MAHASISWA DI PROGRAM STUDI PENDIDIKAN BIOLOGI
Abstract: Action research has
been conducted with the implementation of inquiry - based learning strategies
in the implementation of applied biology laboratory activity and to improve
student learning outcomes. The experiment was conducted in the second semester
of academic year 2012/2013 in the Biology Faculty of Teacher education Program
UR . Subjects were students take courses in Applied Biology with a number of 52
students ( 10 men and 42 women ) . Parameters measured were activities in
practicum and student learning outcomes . The study consisted of 2 cycles with
6 meetings . The data were analyzed descriptively . The results show there is
an increase in activity and student learning outcomes from the first cycle to
the second cycle . Student activity in cycle 1 : submit ideas , doing
experiments , working together , observations classified as category very well
, whereas hypothesize , ask and make conclusions either classified category .
While on cycle 2 activity categories well and asking other classified categories
classified as very good . Learning outcomes in cycle 1 is very good very good
category 17 students ( 32.69 % ) and second cycle increased to 31 students (
59.61 % ) . Overall the implementation of inquiry -based learning can enhance
the activity and student learning outcomes in the practicum course in the
second semester of Applied Biology academic year 2012/2013 in Biology Education
Riau University.
