Abstract

This research is motivated by the low independence and science learning outcomes of grade IV students of SDN 2 Jagapura Lor. The purpose of this research is to improve student independence and learning outcomes by applying the Inquiri learning method to science learning style materials in grade IV SDN 2 Jagapura Lor This study uses the Kemmis & MC Taggart model research design, namely classroom action research (PTK). The subject of this study is grade IV students of SDN 2 Jagapura Lor which totals 25 students and is carried out in 2 cycles each cycle there is 1 meeting.

The percentage of observation results of student learning independence in cycle I was 77.08%, increasing in cycle II to 86.33% and reaching 92.91% in cycle III. The percentage of learning outcomes of students in the first cycle was 72%, increasing in the second cycle to 88% and reaching 92% in the third cycle. Based on the data
from the research results, it can be concluded that the Inquiri learning method can increase the independence and learning outcomes of students in learning science style materials for grade IV students of SDN 2 Jagapura Lor.
