CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Research Background
Science education is an important part of children's formal and informal education. In

order to solve everyday problems, children are consciously or unconsciously engaged in
scientific thinking and situation analysis. The inquiry method gives an opportunity to
students to be active and learn to seek and find it yourself, the teacher does not present the
material lessons in final form, but giving opportunities for students to develop intellectual
potential through an activity that they arrange themselves to finish problems that are
deliberately faced by students. This approach has been considered capable of increasing
motivation among secondary school students because it creates an interest in the process
of acquiring scientific knowledge and skills (Gibson & Chase, 2002).
Science lessons are a collection of data and facts that must be memorized, lessons that do
not involve students' emotions, even though science lessons are about people and events.
To overcome these obstacles students should be activated by encouraging students to seek
and find answers to the problems they face themselves. As well as being able to collect
the problem yourself through a process of thinking, logical and systematic. Because of,
the role of a teacher to motivate student learning is very important, many lessons make
students lose their enthusiasm for learning.
According to Nurilla (2020) in science lessons class activities are very much dominated
by teachers with monotonous methods that are active and varied so that they are less
attractive to students and cause low learning outcomes.
Based on the previous research above, the researcher wanted to examine how the Inquiry
method in learning science can increase students' learning motivation. This study aims to
provide an understanding to students and especially teachers to always pay attention to
the way they teach and the methods they use, so as not to make students less motivated to
learn.
1.2 Research Problem

- The researcher wants to examine how the Inquiry method in science learning to
increase the learning motivation of seventh grade students at Junior High School 1
Kabat Banyuwangi
- The researcher wants to know how much this method can useful and affective in
science learning to increase the motivation of seventh grade students at Junior High
School 1 Kabat Banyuwangi
1.3 Research Question

- How is the implementation of the Inquiry method in science learning to increase the
learning motivation of seventh grade students at Junior High School 1 Kabat
Banyuwangi?
- How is the step of the implementation of the Inquiry method in science learning to
increase the learning motivation of seventh grade students at Junior High School 1
Kabat Banyuwangi?
1.4 Research Objectives

Based on the research questions, the objectives of this study were:
- To describe implementation of the Inquiry method in science learning to increase the

learning motivation of seventh grade students at Junior High School 1 Kabat
Banyuwangi.
- To describe the step of the implementation of the Inquiry method in science learning
to increase the learning motivation of seventh grade students at Junior High School 1
Kabat Banyuwangi.
1.5 Research Significant

The result of this research is expected to give some theoretical and practical knowledge
for the following practice:
- For a teacher, use Inquiry method can be helpful in science learning teaching to
increase the learning motivation and increase the confidence of students.
- For a student, with this method it can make they more active during the teaching and
learning process, think systematically and critically.
- For researchers, this can be used as the most effective method for science teachers in
overcoming the problem of students' lack of learning motivation and lack of student
confidence.
1.6 Definition of Key Terms

On one word search Keys have an important role, therefore the researchers have two
keywords that will make it easier for searchers, as follow:
1. Inquiry method
Inquiry learning method is a series of learning activities which emphasizes the process
of thinking critically and analytically to search and find the answer to a problem
yourself questioned. The thought process itself is usually done through asking
responsibility between teacher and student.
2. Learning motivation
Learner motivation is focused on those factors that affect learners' engagement with
the task of learning. From the perspective of the instructor or instructional designer, it
may be thought of in two ways: as either stimulating and empowering a learner's
intrinsic motivation; or, as providing extrinsic motivators that will energize learner
engagement. In reality, motivation is the product of a system of influences that are
both internal to the learner and external in the learning environment.
CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL RIVIEW
a. Previous Research
To make sure the originality of the idea in this research, the researcher will present
several previous studies that have relevance with this kind of research the researcher
conducted, such as:
1. An article written by Zahid Mehboob, Misbah Mehboob, and Mutonrayo Iyabode

Adeyemi (2021) entitled “INQUIRY BASED METHOD ON ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT OF BIOLOGY STUDENTS AT SECONDARY LEVEL IN
HAZARA DIVISON, PAKISTAN.”
2. An article written by Septiana Kurnia Sari and Moh. Arif Alfan Habibi (2020)
entitled “The effect of the implementation of the guided inquiry learning method
and achievement motivation on the learning achievement of class VII students of
SMP Muhammadiyah 4 Singosari.”
3. An article written by Nurilla (2020) entitled “PENERAPAN METODE INQUIRY
UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA
PELAJARAN IPA KELAS V SDN 4 KALIMAS KECAMATAN TELUK
BATANG.”
b. Relevant Theories
- According to Wahab, dkk (1986:341) memberikan pengertian metode inquiry adalah

suatu cara belajar untuk mencari dan menemukan sesuatu secara kritis, analisis, logis
dan sistematis dengan menggunakan langkahlangkah tertentu dlam mencapai
kesimpulan yang meyakinkan berdasarkan data dan fakta interprestasi yang dapat
diuji. Yusuf dan anwar (1995:82) mendefinisikan metode inquiry adalah suatu metode
pengajaran dengan cara guru menyuguhkan peristiwa kepada murid yang
menimbulkan teka-teki dan memotivasikan murid untuk mencari pemecahan masalah.
- Inquiry-Based Teaching (IBT) approach is used to state teaching strategies that are
taken by scientific inquiry. The approach is based on constructivist teaching
practices. It is student-centered rather than teacher-centered and presents the chance
for students to be actively engaged in experimenting, interrogation and researching.
The approach has been regarded as being able to enhance motivation among
secondary school students as it creates interest in the process of obtaining scientific
knowledge and skills (Gibson & Chase, 2002). The results of the study indicate that
Inquiry-Based Training (IBT) may be very productive in increasing student
achievement, motivation and critical reasoning to learn science as well as improving
scientific process skills (Alleman, Brophy & Knighton, 2008).
- According to Nurilla, pada pelajaran IPA aktifitas kelas sangat didominasi guru
dengan metode yang monoton yang aktif variatif sehingga kurang menarik minat
murid dan menyebabkan rendahnya pencapaian hasil belajar. Pelajaran IPA menjadi
kumpulan data dan fakta yang harus dihafal, pelajaran yang tidak melibatkan emosi
murid, padahal pelajaran IPA adalah pelajaran tentang manusia dan peristiwa. Untuk
mengatasi kendala tersebut hendaknya murid diaktifkan dengan mendorong murid
untuk mencari dan menemukan sendiri jawaban atas masalah-masalah yang dihadapi.
Serta dapat mengumpulkan sendiri masalah tersebut melalui proses berfikir, logis dan
sistematis.
c. Hypothesis
1. Improving the quality of learning, because the use of an inquiry approach in the
learning process can encourage students to think and work on their own initiative,
be objective, honest and open and provide opportunities for students to learn on
their own and be able to develop their individual talents and skills.
2. Techniques used: orientation, formulating problems, formulating hypotheses,
collecting data, testing hypotheses, and formulating conclusions.
3. Students are motivated in the learning process and can improve maximum
learning outcomes.
CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHOD
a. Approach and Design
The approach that used in this research was mixed qualitative. Qualitative research is
research that intends to understand phenomena about what is experienced by research
subject such as behaviour, perception, motivation action, etc. holistically and by
means of descriptions in the form of words and languages., in a particular natural
context and by utilizing various natural method.
The researcher will use the steps of implementing the inquiry method according to
Sanjaya (2009), namely: (1) Orientation, (2) Formulating problems, (3) Formulating
hypotheses, (4) Collecting data, (5) Testing hypotheses and (6) Formulating
conclusions.
Three conditions must be met by students so that research can be achieved: (1)
students are active in implementing learning using the inquiry method, (2) get a
minimum KKM score, (3) students must be able to share their thoughts during the
teaching and learning process.
The Inquiry cycle consists of observing, asking, investigating, analyse and formulate
theories, both individually and together with other friends. Develop and
simultaneously use critical thinking skills. The researcher conducted a planning cycle
in the classroom to implement the inquiry technique. The researcher conducted the
first cycle with the help of the science teacher as a partner or observer of the inquiry
method process carried out with the topic of discussion "The role of heat in changing
the state of matter and the temperature of an object".
b. Research location
This research will be conducted in Banyuwangi Regency, precisely at SMP Negeri 1

Kabat. The choice of this place was because one of the science teachers used the
inquiry method to increase student learning motivation. The time of this research was
conducted on November 17, 2020.
c. Research subject
Research subject are informants who are used as data sources to report data sources
that are related to the research focus. The description includes what data you want
obtain, who has to be informant or research subject, how the data will be sought and
captured so that is validity can be guaranteed.
The subject, are:

1. Science teacher
2. Seventh grade students
d. Data collection
In presenting the findings, researchers used qualitative and quantitative data.

Researchers attended class and conducted interviews with science teachers and
several students regarding the application of learning using the inquiry method.
After collecting data, the researcher will reflect. The researcher will cross-check
whether Sudha's research deserves success or not. If each criterion is met, this
research can be said to be successful.
