Abstract

The purpose of this study was to see the improvement of learning outcomes of 8th grade students in the material of Effort and Power with inquiry learning. This study contains pretest and posttest as well as LKPD work. The sample collection technique using convenience sampling with class VIII students of SMPN 35 Bandung in the 2023/2024 academic year totalling 21 people as research subjects. The research method uses quantitative research. Data collection with observation sheets of teacher activities, student activities and pretest-posttest. The data was analysed with mean value, standard deviation, maximum value, minimum value and n-gain. Based on the results of data analysis, it shows that there has been an increase but there are still those who have not experienced an increase in learning outcomes.
