Learning models are one of the important things to apply in improving student learning outcomes. The inquiry learning model requires students to contribute actively during teaching and learning activities, both intellectually, emotionally and physically, with the hope that students will be able to strive for self-development, respond, provide opinions and solve learning problems both in groups and individually. This research is motivated by the problem of low student learning outcomes. Learning outcomes are a process characterized by changes in a person. Changes as a result of the learning process can be shown in various forms such as changes in skills, abilities, habits, as well as changes in aspects at the end of a lesson. Student learning outcomes are seen from ability, understanding and evaluation. These abilities cover cognitive, affective and psychomotor aspects. If these three aspects are owned or mastered by students, then the student's learning outcomes will be visible.
