Diagnostic Assessment in Learning Optics Based on Inquiry Laboratory
Abstract
This study aims to determine the improvement and differences of learners' learning outcomes based on diagnostic assessment on learning optics based on inquiry lab. The research used experimental design on students of grade VIII SMPN 27 Samarinda as research subjects. Quantitative data were collected using a limited response instrument with multiple choice model. The instruments used are arranged based on the dimensions of knowledge that include conceptual and procedural, while the cognitive process includes remembering, understanding, applying, and analyzing. The inquiry laboratory approaches used include: observation, manipulation, generalization, verification, and application. The results showed an increase in student learning outcomes. Learning optics based on Inquiry laboratory shows differences in learning outcomes.
