Abstract

This paper describes how the levels of inquiry aspects are developed by using levels of inquiry model (LOI). This study applies LOI in science learning on the matter of linear motion. The levels of inquiry within the inquiry spectrum are shown: discovery learning, interactive demonstration, inquiry lesson, inquiry lab (3 types–guided, bounded, and free), real-world applications (2 types–textbook and authentic), and hypothetical inquiry (2 types–pure and applied). This study limited levels of inquiry till the inquiry lab. The instrument used ware worksheets, videos transcript and feasibility levels of Inquiry model. This study uses quantitative descriptive and research design is one group pretest-posttest design. Samples in this study were 30 students on one of junior high school in Bandung. Results show that there is an increase in the quality of levels of inquiry aspects every meeting. The highest attainment is an interactive demonstration and the lowest is inquiry lab. The percentage of right student worksheets more than 75 % every meeting. The conclusion is quantitatively there is an increase in an aspect of levels of inquiry. The writer recommends For teachers: the levels of inquiry model can be used as an alternative learning in science learning so that the students can construct their knowledge independently. 2) For other researchers: It would be better if the instrument student's worksheet on lives of inquiry is made to be more questions of each aspect so that it can be seen its consistency.
