ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the improvement of student learning outcomes in electrical and electronic circuit subject by using inquiry-based learning strategy. The strategy of teacher-centered learning is tend to develop the less optimal students’ thinking ability, lack of attention in asking the questions and not focusing on the lessons provided by the teacher. This has an impact on the lower grade under the minimum criteria on mastery learning. The type of research used is quasi experimental research with One Group pretest and posttest design. The subjects of this study were students of X-3 Vocational High School 5 Padang. The results of this study show that the average of the pretest value is 49.33 and the posttest average is 77.5. The average of second meeting pretest value is 51.15 and the posttest average is 78.6. The average of the third meeting pretest value is 54.8 and the posttest average is 78.3. The average of fourth meeting pretest score is 59.03 and the posttest average is 78.2. The average fifth meeting pretest value is 53.89 and the posttest average is 78.9. The total average score of meeting 1 to 5 is 0.508 which states an increase in outcomes after using group inquiry learning strategies in total score in medium category. It can be concluded that there is an increase in learning outcomes of electrical and electronic circuits subject of students of class X-3 Vocational High School 5 Padang with the implementation of inquiry-based learning strategy.
