PENGARUH STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR BIOLOGI DITINJAU DARI AKTIVITAS BELAJAR SISWA

Abstract

ABSTRACT – This study was aimed to know: (1) The influence of the use of  Inquiring Minds Want  To Know  learning strategy in Biology  learning  towards  learning  achievement of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat. (2) The influence of the level of students learning activity towards learning achievement of the second grade students  of  SMA  Negeri  Kebakkramat. (3)  Whether  or  not  there  is  an interaction between the  Inquiring  Minds  Want  To Know  learning  strategy  and  the  students learning  activity  towards  learning  achievement  in Biology  of  the  second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat in the academic year of 2011/2012. The  population of  this  study  was  all  of  the  second grade  students  of  SMA Negeri Kebakkramat in the second semester of the academic year of 2011/2012. The sample  of  the  study  were  XI  IPA  2 students  as  the  experiment  class  and  XI  IPA  3 students  as  the  control  class, taken  by  Cluster  Random  Sampling. The  learning strategy  and the  learning  activity  were  considered to be  the  independent  variable while learning achievement in Biology became the dependent variable. The data was collected using documentation technique,  test, questionnaire, and observation sheet. The technique used to analyze the data was two-way Analysis of Variance (Anava). This  study  was  a  Quasi  Experimental  Research  with  Randomized Control  Only Design. The  results  of  the  study  can be  concluded as  follows:  (1)  There  is  a significant  influence  of  applying  Inquiring  Minds  Want  To Know  learning  strategy towards  affective  and psycomotoric  learning  achievement  in  Biology  of  the  second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat, yet there is no significant influence on cognitive  ones. (2)  There  is  an influence  of  students  learning  activity  towards cognitive, affective and psycomotoric learning achievement in Biology of the second grade  students  of  SMA  Negeri  Kebakkramat. (3)  There  is  no interaction between Inquiring  Minds  Want  To Know  learning  strategy  and students  learning  activity towards cognitive, affective and psycomotoric learning achievement in Biology of the second grade students of SMA Negeri Kebakkramat.
