PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN GUIDED INQUIRY DAN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN PEMECAHAN MASALAH FISIKA SISWA SMA NEGERI 7 KUPANG

This research is an experimental research with Pretest-Posstest Comparison Group Design. Research conducted at SMA Negeri 7 Kupang for class XI MIA. The purpose of this research was (1) to determine the differences of student’s physics problem solving abilities between those who taught using Guided Inquiry learning model with those who taught using problem based learning model. This research also (2) aim to find out whether the physics problem solving abilities of students taught using the Guided Inquiry learning model are higher than those students who taught using problem based learning model. Population of this research is all class XI MIA of SMA Negeri 7 Kupang, with simple random technique as sampling method. Student’s problem solving abilities datas obtained from the instrument use essay questions pre-test and post-test.The results showed that: 1) There are significant differences in students' physics problem solving abilities between students taught using the Guided Inquiry learning model 2) Physics problem solving abilities of students taught using the Guided Inquiry learning model were higher than students who were taught using Problem Based Learning learning models
