Abstract

This study aims to determine whether the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model can improve the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at MIN 1 Batam on the topic of ecosystems. The research method used is an experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study was conducted over three meetings, with the subjects being fifth-grade students divided into two groups: the experimental group using the guided inquiry learning model and the control group using the lecture method. Data were collected through formative and summative assessments, consisting of multiple-choice questions, essay questions, and observations. The results showed that the average score of students in the formative assessment was 86.67 and in the summative assessment was 88.67, both indicating satisfactory results that exceed the average passing grade (KKM). This study indicates that the implementation of the guided inquiry learning model can improve students' learning outcomes in science, particularly on the topic of ecosystems. The strength of this study lies in the use of digital multimedia and the integration of local wisdom in the learning process, making the learning more relevant and engaging for students. However, this study has limitations in terms of the time available for outdoor observations and limited supporting facilities. For future research, it is recommended to extend the duration and improve learning facilities, as well as to combine advanced technology or online learning platforms to enhance the effectiveness of learning.
