Abstract

Questioning skills are essential competencies that students need to develop during the learning process because they help foster critical thinking, increase learning participation, and deepen students’ understanding of learning materials. However, preliminary observations indicated that several fifth-grade students at SDN 1 Jepun were still less active in asking questions during IPAS (Natural and Social Sciences) learning activities. This study aimed to analyze students’ questioning skills in IPAS learning at Grade V of SDN 1 Jepun, Tulungagung Regency. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. The participants were fifth-grade students of SDN 1 Jepun. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that students’ questioning skills in IPAS learning were categorized as very high, with an overall percentage of 85%. The indicator of concise and clear questions reached 88.3%, the focus indicator reached 83.3%, and the probing or divergent questioning indicator also reached 83.3%, all of which were classified as very high. Interview results further indicated that most students were able to ask questions relevant to the learning material, confidently participate in classroom discussions, and demonstrate adequate thinking skills in developing meaningful questions. Therefore, it can be concluded that the questioning skills of Grade V students at SDN 1 Jepun in IPAS learning have developed well and fall within the very high category.
