Abstract

Higher order thinking skills (HOTs) is 21st century learning trend. This study to determine the effect of inquiry-based laboratory on the Students' HOTs in learning harmonic vibration. The method used descriptive quantitative true-experiment. Sampling technique using randomized control group pre-test and post-test design. The sample was 69 students, consisting of two experimental groups (n = 46 students) and one control group (n = 23 students). The experimental group is taught by inquiry-based laboratory activities, while the control group is taught by not inquiry-based laboratory activities. The result of this research shows that the experimental groups got gain score are 0.57 and 0.54, while the control group got gain score is 0.13 and both groups proved to have statistically significant different improvement. It means experimental groups have ability to Analyse, evaluation and create. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
