The effect of prompting question on students’ worksheet - based on guided inquiry towards students’ learning achievement and activity of class X MIA of MA Negeri 1 Makassar (study on electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solution)

Abstract

This quasi-experiment research aimed to find the effect of prompting question on students’ worksheet - based on guided inquiry towards students’ learning achievement and activity of class X MIA of MA Negeri 1 Makassar. The research desain used was”post-test only control group design”. This research population was students of class X MIA of MA Negeri 1 Makassar that consist of six classes. Class random sampling technique was used to choose the samples, so that acquired samples are class X MIA 1 as experiment group and X MIA 2 as control group with number of students 36 and 35, respectively. Independent variable in the research was a prompting question on students’ worksheet based-guided inquiry and dependent variable is students’ learning achievement and activity. Data of students’ activity and students’ learning achievement were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistic. The results of the analysis for students’ learning achievement shows that the score average of group experiment and control were 72.11 and 66.34. While, the results of the analysis for students’ activity shows that score average of group experiment and control were 81.25 and 78.31. Hypothesis was analyzed by nonparametric test, Mann-Whitney test for learning achievement. The result are Z_counted = 1.69 and in α = 0.05, the Z_table is 1.64. Since, Z_counted> Z_table, so H₁ was accepted and H₀ was rejected. It means that, there was a positive effect of prompting question on students’ worksheet based - guided inquiry toward students’ learning achievement of class X MIA MA Negeri 1 Makassar on electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solution subject matter. While, Hypothesis was analyzed by nonparametric test, Mann-Whitney test for students’ activity. The result are Z_counted = 1.22 and in α = 0.05, the Z_table is 1.64. Since, Z_counted< Z_table, so H₁ was failed and H₀ was accepted. It means that there was not a positive effect of prompting question on students’ worksheet - based on guided inquiry towards students’ learning activity of class X MIA of MA Negeri 1 Makassar on electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solution subject matter.
