This study aims to improve student learning outcomes by applying the inquiry learning model during teaching and learning activities in Civics Education (PKn)  SD . This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in elementary schools because there are still many teachers who do not apply innovative learning models, teacher-centered conventional learning models that make students less active in the learning process. The Inquiry Learning learning model emphasizes the process of critical and analytical thinking to seek and find answers to the problems in question. This research method is the study of literature (Library Research) or library research. The research is motivated by the low student scores, presumably because the learning model is less attractive. Inquiry Learning learning model, namely: (1) orientation; (2) formulate the problem; (3) formulate hypotheses; (4) collect data; (5) testing the hypothesis; (6) formulate conclusion    

This study aims (1) to determine whether the guided inquiry learning model has an effect on the students' science process skills, (2) to find out whether the PBL learning model affects the students' science process skills, (3) to find out the differences in the students' science process skills. VII SMPN 5 Dusun Selatan which uses the guided inquiry learning model and the PBL learning model. The method in this research is comparative quantitative. The research design used was the Nondomized Control Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The instrument used was a test in the form of multiple choice questions totaling 25 questions and an observation sheet for students' science process skills. The research sample was students of class VII A and class VII B at SMPN 5 Dusun Selatan. The data collection technique was carried out using the observation method of students' science process skills and learning outcomes tests. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results of this study show that (1) the value of the science process skills of students using the guided inquiry learning model has an average value of 92%, (2) the value of the science process skills of students using the PBL learning model has an average value of 96 %, (3) the difference in the science process skills of students who are taught using the guided inquiry learning model and the PBL learning model, it can be seen from the results of the average value obtained that there are differences, where the PBL learning model has a higher average value than the learning model. guided inquiry. The learning outcomes of the guided inquiry class had an average score of 39 on the pretest and 68 on the posttest. Meanwhile, the average value of the pretest in the PBL class was 40.4 and the posttest score was 69.3. These results indicate that the guided inquiry learning model and the PBL learning model can improve students' learning outcomes and science process skills.

This research and development aims to develop a valid and effective Microbiology module based guide inquiry on research on Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Bacteria from Ciplukan. The microbiology module was developed in reference to the ADDIE research and development model. The module drafting phase includes:1) the analyzing step through interviews with lecturers and the questionnaire of needs analysis by student respondents; 2) The step of designing learning modules to improve cognitive knowledge and process skills; 3) The step of developing by using module validation; 4) The step of applying which consists of module implementation in learning; 5) The evaluation step which consists of evaluating the validity of modules, cognitive learning outcomes and student science process skills. The results of the study show that the microbiology module developed accordance with the standards of validity, feasibility and practicality.

The results of initial observations in class X of SMK Elpida Informatika showed that students' process skills were less trained. Although in the learning process the teacher had tried to apply inquiry learning, in its implementation the students depended on each other in their groups. In addition, the average PAK test score for class X had not met the KKM. The application of the inquiry strategy approach in the learning process will be centered on students who emphasize the ability to search for themselves or find themselves. This study aims to determine the improvement in student learning outcomes by applying process skills and discussions between group members can make students active in their learning activities which results in maximum results achieved. This study is a classroom action research carried out in three cycles consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study were students of class X of SMK Elpida Informatika. Data collection was carried out by observation. Based on the analysis of the research data, the average cognitive results of students in cycle I were 51.07, cycle II 60.5 and increased to 85.71 in cycle III. The affective learning outcomes of students obtained in cycle I were 85%, cycle II 95% and cycle III increased to 100%. Psychomotor learning outcomes in the form of process skills increased with the average learning outcomes of students obtained in cycles I, II and III respectively being 61.34; 84.10; and 93.4.
