Effects of Scientific Inquiry Learning Model of Using a Media PhET And Creative Thinking Ability Against Science Process Skills

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effects of scientific inquiry learning model using a media PhET and the ability to think creatively about science process skills in MAN 1 Padangsidimpuan.  This research is a quasi-experimental design with two-group pretest posttest. The subjects of this study were all students of class X MAN 1 Padangsidimpuan. The sample selection is done cluster random sampling as applied experimental class scientific inquiry learning model using the media   PhET and grade control applied learning directly. The instrument used in this study is a questionnaire ability to think creatively and instrumen science process skills in the form of essays that have been declared invalid by a team of experts. The final conclusion is that the science process skills of students who apply scientific inquiry learning model using the media PhET is better than science process skills of students with hands-on learning.
