The purpose of the research was to
study the effect of inquiry learning strategy toward the comprehension ability
and concept reconstruction of plant anatomy to the students. The subject of the
analysis was students of biology education at 3rd semester Faculty
of Education and Teaching, Syiah Kuala University. The method used in the
research was experiment design of Pretest-Posttest Control-Group. Inquiry
learning strategy was done by giving students structured task, question answers
and discussion. Comprehension of the concept was measured by a written test, an
objective test which has been validated. Concept reconstruction ability of
students measured by comparing the ability of comprehension ability concept
before and after lecture. Comprehension concept data obtained was then analyzed
using normalization of gain calculation method. To compare comprehension
ability and concept reconstruction between groups of student which were equipped
with inquiry learning and control groups, they were tested with Independent
Sample t-Test. The research finding shown that there was significant
improvement toward concept comprehend of students equipped with inquiry
learning compare to students not with inquiry learning. Concept reconstruction
ability of students with inquiry learning was higher (62%) compare to students
not with inquiry learning. Therefore, inquiry learning strategy was effective
to improve comprehension ability and reconstruction concepts of plant
anatomy.
