ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research was to find out the difference of students’
learning outcomes using inquiry training model and direct instruction model in
light topic at class VIII SMP N 1 Tebing Tinggi. The research method was quasi
experimental. The population was all students at class VIII semester II consist of 9
classes SMP N 1 Tebing Tinggi. The sample of this research conduct two classes
and consist of 50 students, class VIII-1 as experiment class and class VIII-2 as
control class and define by cluster random sampling. The result that was obtained:
post-test average value of the experiment class was 78.6 and 67.7 was the average
value for control class. Standard deviation for experiment class was 14.0 and 14.3
was the standard deviation for control class. The result that was students’ activity
in experiment class has the average value is 75.9. And the result that was students’
affective in experiment class has the average value is 76.8. Normality of the test

result from the both samples was normal and homogeneous, the testing criterion
was accepted H0 if -2.012< t’ < 2.012 and refuse H0 in other condition. Here, H0
was refused because t’ is 2.75 and Ha was accepted. So it can be concluded that
there was the significant difference of students’ learning outcomes using inquiry
training model and direct instruction model.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Natural science is concerned with how to find out about natural
phenomenon systematically, so that the natural science is not just a collection of
knowledge mastery of facts, concepts, or only principles but also is a process of
discovery. Natural science education expected to become facilities for learners to
learn about human and environment, as well as the prospect of further
development in applying them in daily life. The process of learning places
emphasis on providing on experience to develop competence in order for learners
to explore and understand the natural surrounding scientifically.
Physics is one of the sciences that important in education. Studying of
physics can be proven with experiment in the laboratory or in the field.
Historically many experts when study of physics giving inventions and new
concepts are very useful for the development of human life. Experts try to learn
what happens in nature, understand concept, practice the same thing, practicing
the other possibilities of happening and poured it into a masterpiece. This works
in the development of technology that was donated has an effect on the increase of
human civilization.
During in time, physics is one of subjects that are less attractive to
students. It is evident from the low percentage of students' mastery learning. This
is because in addition to the material in these subjects is difficult to understand,
sometimes the delivery of content by teachers lacking attract students. In general,
physics teacher at school more often discussing the theory of the handbook,
providing formulas and provide example problems. This led to a physical science
reading material and students can only imagine.
Learning models like above causing physics to be one of the subjects
which are not interested by the students and paradigm of students who assumes
that physics is difficult. Though physics is a subject that is close to the daily life
and its application can be found directly in our environment. In this case the

teacher has an important role in instilling positive paradigm for students. So
physics is no longer a daunting subject and boring.
Based on preliminary study through the direct observation by
interviewing the physics teacher at SMP N 1 Tebing Tinggi suggests teachers tend
to still use the conventional learning with lecture and question and answer that is
teacher centered. In presenting the subject matter, the teacher explain to the class
and give a summary of the material with notes on the board and the students listen
and record the important things of the material being taught. This leads to students
not directly involved in the learning process and passive. From interviews said
also that the students learning outcomes in physics subject is low. When the value
of KKM 75, approximately 70% of students who did not complete the study in the
field of physics.
Many things can cause low physics student learning outcomes, one of
which is the learning process that is not in favor of the students. Student learning
is just as listeners and teachers are more instrumental or teacher-centered (teacher
centered). Dominance of teachers in this study led to more students waiting for a
dish of knowledge from the teacher rather than finding themselves the knowledge,
skills, and attitudes required in acquiring knowledge.
Based on the observation found that only about 50% students’ in SMP N
1 Tebing Tinggi which like the physics. This is because physics is a subject which
is interesting and challenging. Moreover, if the method of teaching the teacher is
very nice, it will make them more interested in learning physics. In their daily life,
they've responded well to the subjects of physics, this can be seen when teachers
teach, they observe and record things that are important.
From this observation also found that 38% of students prefer to learn
physics when practiced learning how to direct and 36% of students prefer to learn
physics by way of groups. But in reality teachers rarely engage students’ in the
process getting their knowledge and only emphasizes the students to memorize
formulas and does not emphasize on the concept and its application. In fact, many
students are still difficulties in using the formula to solve a given problem. During
the learning process, the teacher invites students rarely conduct experiments for

the material being studied significantly. So in this case the student less directly
involved in the learning activity.
Based on the above conditions should apply an appropriate model of
learning and can improve students’ learning outcomes in physics. Learning model
that suitable for used is inquiry training model. Inquiry training model is designed
to bring students directly into scientific process into small periods of time. The
training has resulted in an increased understanding of science, more creative
thinking, and skills for obtaining and analyzing information as students establish
facts, build concepts, and then generate and test explanations or theories. The
students are active learners involved in exploration, questioning, problem solving,
inductive reasoning, invention, labeling, and discovery.
Researchers previously performed by Rostina Harahap (2009) obtained
an average value of 36.00 after a pretest that is treated with inquiry learning model
of training the student learning outcomes increased with an average value of
77.40, with the title "The Effect of Inquiry Training Model Toward Student
Learning Outcomes in Newton's law Topic at Class VIII SMP N 6 Academic Year
2009/2010 ". The weakness in this study is less able to take advantage of future
researchers in working together so that when collecting assignments, students rush
to do it. And students’ difficulties in the implementation of group work.
The background above shows that the issue is very important to
investigate and look for the solution, because if the problem is not resolved then it
is difficult for teachers to achieve the goals of learning and difficult for students to
achieve the competencies expected.

1.2 Problem Identification
Based on the background above can be identified some of issues, namely:
1. Paradigm of students who assumes that physics is difficult
