THE EFFECT OF INQUIRY TRAINING MODELS BASED ON LECTORA AND FORMAL THINKING ABILITY TOWARD PHYSICS STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT

This paper presents the results of research the use of lectora multimedia as innovation in science education teaching and learning when combined with inquiry training instructional models and formal thinking ability toward students achievement in Harapan Senior High School Academic Year 2014/2015 in the measurement material. The research aims : (1) to explain the students achievement who applied inquiry training instructional models based on lectora multimedia better than conventional instructional models, (2) to explain the students achievement who have high formal thinking ability better than students who have low formal thinking ability, (3) to explain the interaction between inquiry training instructional models based on lectora multimedia and formal thinking ability toward students achievement. The instruments used in this research are formal thinking ability instrument consist of 10 questions and student achievement instrument consist of 20 questions stated valid and reliable. To test the hypothesis used analysis of variance two tails (2 x 2 factorial design) with a significant level α = 0.05. The results of research are : (1) the students achievement who applied inquiry training instructional models based on lectora multimedia better than conventional instructional models; (2) the students achievement who have a high formal thinking ability better than students who have low formal thinking ability, (3) there was interaction between inquiry training learning models based on lectora multimedia and formal thinking ability toward students achievement.
