sample of this study is two classes which is categorized as one experiment 1 class
(XI IPA-3) consist of 32 studentsand the other one as experiment 2 class (XI IPA
5) consist of 32 students. The research is experiment research using multiple
choice tests to see the student’s achievement as the instrument probably
standardized. The first time, pre-test will be given to experimental class 1 and
experimental class 2. Then, give the treatment In experimental class 1 was used

inquiry model with using video demonstration and in experimental class 2 was
used inquiry model without video demonstration. The last, giving the post-test for
each of class. Based on the result in experimental class 1 was obtained the average
of pre-test score 23.28 and post-test 85.31. In Experiment class 2 was obtained the
average of pre-test score 28.91 and post-test 810.47. Data must be normal and
homogeny. The hypothesis test by using sig (2-tailed) from SPSS 17.0. Criterion
of hypothesis is received Ha if sig < 0.05. From the result is obtained all the sig is
0.0165< 0.05. Hypothesis alternative (Ha) is received and Hypothesis null (Ho) is
rejected. It concluded that student’s achievement with inquiry learning model by
using video demonstration is higher than inquiry learning model without video
demonstration. Increasing the student’s achievement was calculated by using

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1.

Background
Education is a process of improve student that to be able adapt as well as

possible toward their environment, so there will be change in their behavior that
make useful to this process, so the target of that change can be reach as expected.
(Hamalik, 2009). In the teaching and learning process not all of the student have a
same skill to understand of each of the matters. The ability of student is various,
there is quick, medium and low. In general teaching, teacher still use conventional
teaching and sometimes this method is not suitable for all situation, so student get
bore and think difficult about the topic actually chemistry.
International school is a school that meets all National Education
Standards and enriched curriculum OECD member countries and / or other
countries that have excellence in education. So that the curriculum used in the SBI
and RSBI is enriched by the curriculum and the curriculum developed countries,
but the SBC is more dominant. Education Unit Level Curriculum (SBC) 2006
provides an opportunity for teachers to choose ways of delivering the material that
best suits the characteristics of the material. Buffer Solution Based on the
characteristics of matter that is abstract, conceptual, sequential, and contains
elements of algorithmic, then one strategy that can be used in presenting the
material is brain-based learning. (Ni’mah, anis. )
Many students think chemistry is the one of the most difficult subject to
study at all level of schooling. Learning chemistry places many demands on
students and teachers that can seem insurmountable. Instructors display
mathematical formulas, chemical symbols, and scientific measurements
simultaneously to describe phenomena that are not readily apparent to students.
Moreover, the concepts of chemistry are often seen as abstractions confined to the
chemistry classroom and not applicable outside of school (Stieff and Wilensky,
2003).

2

The students lack comprehension about chemistry’s lesson because some
factors. Those are teacher, students, method and available facilities do not support
the teaching-learning process. Students’ achievement will be increase if teacher
uses a suitable teaching approach that will make students understand the lesson
better. (Jumira, 2008). Based on the child's developmental level, cognitive
processes involve a change of thought and intelligence of individuals. When you
were being a little teenager, do you think the skills are as good as it is today? Can
you solve issues are difficult and abstract reasoning logically about complex
topics? Adolescence has many phases that affect the learning activities. One phase
that must be understood is through a phase of pre-adolescent phase in which the
adolescent operational i.e. not understand and appreciate the things that are
abstract. Students will find it difficult to think of an abstract problem and have a
high degree of difficulty. (Santrock, John W. 2004).
In the process of learning many factors that come into play. Broadly
speaking, the factors that influence the learning process are grouped into two:
Internal factors and External factors. Internal factor is the factor that originates
from within the student as a physiological factor that includes the hearing, sight,
and the physiological condition of the student seta psychological factors which
include the need for learning, the intelligence of children, motivation, attention,
thinking, memory and forgetting. And the external factor is the factor that comes
from outside us such students, such as the learning environment factors include
the natural environment, physical and social systems as well as factors that
include the presentation of curriculum, learning materials and methods of
presentation. (Mappa and Basleman, 1994).
The low recovery of student learning outcomes in the materials buffer
solution is the use of appropriate teaching methods that have not been interesting
or boring, and not students, so the effect on student learning outcomes. This is
because the buffer solution of the material is often taught using the lecture
method, so the activity of students are less involved. Would benefit from
improvements in the teaching materials, among others, with the buffer solution

3

using one method of teaching that can enhance the activity so that students are
expected student learning outcomes will also increase.(Sari, Eka Purnama. 2009)
Teaching and learning process must begin in an atmosphere of fun and not
monotonous teacher-centered because it is basically the chemical is one of the
subjects aimed at changing the mindset of cognitive, behavioral attitudes and
develop students' analytical power in solving problems. Thus, students in the
learning process should be more active and get a fun learning experience and
students will be more motivated to learn. Motivation is clearly going to affect
student learning outcomes.
With the facts above, it is necessary to take an action to increase the
student activity which will affect student learning outcomes. One way to do to
solve this problem is to apply the model of inquiry learning with video media in
the learning materials Buffer Solution.
Designing inquiry learning university students develops problem-solving
skills, logical reasoning as well as reflective thinking. It involves working as a
member of a team, questioning, being creative, and shaping the skills for
continued intellectual development. It is argued that inquiry-based group-work is
one of the most important learning experiences because it enables the exploration
of theoretical ideas and conceptual change. This paper presents results about the
use of students’ questions to shape these processes. In fact, student-generatedquestions can be used as efficient guides in the preparation, focus, diagnosis,
development, implementation and evaluation of group-work.
Learning model with inquiry learning model by using video demonstration
is precisely to overcome the factors that affect learning so students will be more
interested in the lessons that will be presented. Based on the problems above, the
writer is interested to conduct a mini research titled “Implementation of Inquiry
Learning Model by Using Video Demonstration to Increase Students’
Achievement in Buffer Solution.”

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

5.1 Conclusion
From the result of research, it can be calculated that:
The student achievement for the class whas the inquiry learning model by
using video demonstration implemented is significant higher than the class using
Inquiry Learning Model video demonstration in buffer solution topic in XI student
grade SMAN 1 Berastagi. The percentage of average gain (student’s achievement)
in experimental class 1 that was taught by inquiry learning model by using video
demonstration in buffer solution topic is equal to 81% . While for control class,
the average gain (students’ achievement) is 73%.
5.2 Suggestion
1. For chemistry teachers should using video demonstration, because it able
to increase the student’s achievement, make student easier to received the
material, make learning is a meaningful and makes student’s remembrance
more long.
2. The results of this study certainly is not perfect, so expect similar study could
be developed, among others, by conducting similar studies on other
populations or other variables.

3. For school holder, in order to provide another inventory to support teaching
and learning in classroom.
