The problem formula in writing this inscription is 1. What are the steps for learning history, 2. What are the supporting and inhibiting factors, and 3. What are the implications of implementing history learning (by using the Penataran Temple Site as a source of history learning by applying to class X MA students Greetings). This research aims to find out the steps for learning history, what are the supporting and inhibiting factors, and what are the implications of implementing the use of the Penataran Temple Site as a source of history learning by applying the inquiry method to class X MA Assalam students. This research is a descriptive qualitative type of research with data collection techniques through observation, in-depth interviews and documentation.

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) learning model with the discussion method in the experimental class compared to the Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) combined with the lecture method in the control class in improving student learning outcomes in Economics. The method used was a quasi-experiment with a pre-test and post-test design, involving 30 grade X students in each group. The results showed that the application of PjBL with discussion provided a more significant increase in student learning outcomes compared to the IBL model with lectures. The PjBL model encourages students to be active, creative, and collaborative in learning, while the lecture method in IBL is more passive. In conclusion, the PjBL model with discussion is recommended to improve the quality of learning, in accordance with the Merdeka Curriculum approach which emphasizes interactive and contextual learning experiences.

Inquiry-based learning is a pedagogical approach that encourages students to actively construct their knowledge through exploration and questioning. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the inquiry-based learning model in improving students' conceptual understanding of biology. The research employs a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group. Data were collected from high school students and analyzed using statistical tests to compare learning outcomes between the experimental and control groups. The findings indicate that students who learned through inquiry-based methods demonstrated significantly higher conceptual understanding than those in traditional learning settings. These results suggest that the inquiry-based learning model can enhance students' critical thinking skills and conceptual mastery, making it a valuable approach for biology education. The study's implications highlight the need for integrating inquiry-based learning in science curricula to foster deeper understanding and engagement among students.

The aim of this research is to determine the development of rural sociology students' competence in analyzing village community life through the application of social inquiry learning methods. The research method applied in this study is the action research method. This research is included in the applied research category which integrates knowledge, research and action. This research explains the effectiveness of social inquiry learning methods in improving the analytical competence of rural sociology students. The social inquiry method, which emphasizes active student involvement through exploration and investigation of social phenomena, has proven effective in improving students' understanding, analytical skills and critical thinking abilities. Through applying this method, students not only understand rural sociology theory but are also able to apply it in empirical analysis. The implementation of this method in the form of action research shows a significant increase in student learning outcomes from the first cycle to the second cycle. The research results show that students who are involved in the social inquiry method are able to carry out a more in-depth analysis of social phenomena in rural areas, as well as showing increased cooperation skills and courage in discussions. This conclusion is supported by observation results which show an increase in the quality of learning and the results of student self-evaluation.

The sample used was one class with a total of 21 students Before texting hypotheses using the t-test the test analysis pre requisites are first perfomed namely the normality test and homogenity test and the data are normally distributed and homogeneous Based on the hypotheses test perfomed obtained acount of 25,91 and t table of 1,72. Because t hitung > t tabel then HO is rejected and HI is accepted. Therefore the result of this study concluded that thereis an effect of inquiry learning model on students learning outcomes.

The purpose of this writing is to discuss inquiry learning strategies. The inquiry learning strategy states that teachers are not the only learning source, there are many other learning sources that can support successful learning. The teacher is only a facilitator, a guide who always directs students in learning. Students are designed as discoverers or seekers of knowledge, a teacher's job is to manage students so that they gain knowledge and become meaningful. Because with meaning the knowledge will enter their knowledge, so that it will always be remembered by students. The student does everything the teacher only prepares, because the student does the learning will be a meaningful experience for the student.

This study explores the potential of mobile educational applications to enhance student-centered inquiry-based learning (IBL) in secondary school classrooms. As traditional, teacher-centered pedagogies fail to adequately engage students in critical thinking and problem-solving, IBL offers a promising alternative that encourages active participation and deeper learning. The research investigates how mobile applications can support IBL by facilitating the inquiry process, such as data collection, hypothesis formulation, and collaboration. Through a quasi-experimental design involving secondary school students, the study compares the effectiveness of traditional teaching methods and mobile-assisted IBL. Results indicate that students using mobile applications showed significant improvements in critical thinking, engagement, and academic performance compared to those taught through traditional methods. Teachers and students both reported high satisfaction with mobile apps, particularly in terms of ease of use and educational value. The findings suggest that integrating mobile technologies into the classroom can create more interactive, accessible, and personalized learning experiences, fostering critical thinking and enhancing student outcomes. However, challenges related to infrastructure, teacher training, and digital literacy must be addressed to fully harness the potential of mobile-assisted inquiry-based learning.
