DEVELOPMENT OF INQUIRY-BASED BIOLOGY MODULE TO IMPROVE LEARNING AT SMA NEGERI 1 SAKRA TIMUR
Keywords:
Biology Module, Inquiry Learning, Merdeka CurriculumAbstract
This study developed an inquiry-based biology module to enhance student
engagement and conceptual understanding in line with the Merdeka
Curriculum. Conducted at SMA Negeri 1 Sakra Timur, it involved 26 students
in the experimental group and 24 in the control group, using the Research and
Development (R&D) method based on a modified Borg and Gall model. The
module followed an Inquiry-Based on Interactive Demonstration approach
with five stages: observation, manipulation, generalization, verification, and
application. Results showed significant improvements in cognitive (85.89 vs.
79.92), affective (89.74 vs. 73.13), and psychomotor (89.48 vs. 30.84) aspects
compared to conventional methods. The module effectively enhanced critical
thinking, motivation, and practical skills, supporting 21st-century
competencies. Despite challenges like time constraints and teacher training
needs, proper planning can ensure success. This inquiry-based module is
recommended for broader adoption to foster interactive and student-centered
learning.
