The Development of Students Worksheet (SW) based on Inquiry to Improve Activity and Learning Outcomes in Civic Lesson of Students Grade VII

This study was conducted based on the problem
of low learning outcomes in the subjects of PPKn and low
student activity on the learning process. This is caused by
several factors, such as the lack of variety of teaching materials
used by teachers and learning process that only uses
conventional methods or lectures that cause the low interest of
students in learning. Therefore, researchers intend to develop
teaching materials in the form of LKS based inquiry on the
subject of PPKn in class VII which aims to improve student
learning outcomes and activities. LKS based inkuiri is a
teaching material that is designed by using the stages of
inquiry learning, which is orientation, formulate problems,
propose hypothesis, collect data, test hypothesis and conclude.
LKS based inquiry in addition to improving student learning
outcomes can also increase student activity, this is because in
the stages of inquiry itself requires students to play an active
and critical thinking in the learning process. In this research,
LKS based on inquiry is developed in accordance with BSNP
standard, ie readability aspect, aspect of kegrafikan, and
content feasibility aspect, and also fulfill valid, practical and
effective criteria. The research applies model of ADDIE
development with stages: analysis, design, development,
implementation, evaluation. Data analyis techniques used in
this research is: (1) validit analysis of worksheet based on
inquiry, (2) improved analysis of learning outcomes and
student activities. The result of this research indicates that
worksheet based on inquiry which developed is valid and
feasible, it is based on the validation result stated by the expert
team that is 91.7% with the criterion "very good", the
validation result from the linguist is 87.5% with the criterion
"Good", and the validation results of the design expert
learning is 88.5% with the criteria of "good". Furthermore,
worksheet based inquiry itself can improve learning outcomes
where students who use worksheet based inquiry on civic
education learning process get the average g factor of 0.83 with
the category of "high", besides the students also get the
average g factor of 0.88 with category "High" on student
learning activities.
