Meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada pembelajaran IPA dengan menggunakan metode Inkuiri di Kelas IV SD Negeri 15 Koto Lalang Kec. Lubuk Kilangan Kota Padang

This research is motivated by the fact that in elementary schools, the teacher's learning process still often uses lecture and learning methods that emphasize cognitive aspects, does not involve students so that they are less independent in learning, and even tends to be passive in class as a result of low student learning outcomes. This study aims to improve the science learning process, specifically by using the inquiry method in class IV SDN 15 Koto Lalang. This type of research is called "classroom action research" and uses both qualitative and quantitative approaches. consists of two cycles. Each cycle consists of two meetings that include four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection.
