Environmental Learning with Inquiry Method in Tondano Lake

摘要

Learning Environment by using the Inquiry method can bring students into problems directly, so they can develop capabilities in terms of solving environmental problems that will be faced. In addition, the Inquiry method will train students to communicate well between fellow students and teachers (lecturers). The application of inquiry methods is effective in increasing students' competency of the environment and would be skilled in solving problems. By investigations conducted at Tondano Lake, students will be able to prove the truth of a theory by themselves. This type of research is an experiment using descriptive quantitative data analysis techniques by one group pretest-posttest design. This research is intended to describe the presence or absence of a treatment given to the subject of the study. Based on the results of the research and discussion, it was concluded that environmental learning using the inquiry method at Tondano Lake had a significant effect on students' competency. This is evidenced by the average gain score reaching 92.4769 or 94.5% and the implementation of learning which is in the effective category.
