PENERAPAN STRATEGI INKUIRI DALAM MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR PESERTA DIDIK PADA MATA PELAJARAN IPS DI MI AL-ISLAH NATAR LAMPUNG SELATAN

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the inquiry strategy in improving students’ learning outcomes in Social Studies (IPS) at MI Al-Islah Natar, South Lampung. The research used a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers and students, and documentation of learning outcomes. All field data were fictional but arranged realistically.

The findings indicate that the implementation of the inquiry strategy positively contributes to improving students’ learning outcomes. This strategy encourages students to think critically, actively ask questions, seek information independently, and solve problems creatively. However, some challenges were identified, such as limited learning resources and differences in students’ prior abilities, which influenced the strategy’s effectiveness.
