Description
Summary:Scientific thinking is a key component of science literacy and aids students in reducing misconceptions. With the subject matter of work and simple aircraft, this study aims to determine the impact of the inquiry-based physics learning model on the scientific reasoning ability of the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 6 (State Junior High School) Metro. The randomized control group-only posttest design was used in this study. The U-Mann Whitney test used the inquiry-based physics learning model to determine the difference in students’ scientific reasoning abilities. Data collecting instruments were multiple-choice tests on work and simple aircraft. The test comprised 24 questions based on the Lawson Classroom Test of Scientific Thinking (LCTSR). The gathered data statistics revealed a significance value of 0.000. The Mann-Whitney U test results reflected the difference between the mean scores of the experimental and control classes. The results of this study suggest that the inquiry-based physics learning model affects students’ scientific reasoning abilities.
