Abstract

Science learning is carried out on various types of learning approaches that can be used by teachers. The use of one type of learning approach that is suitable for one concept, is not necessarily suitable for another concept. In addition, the use of the learning approach in the concept is carried out individually or can also be done by combining one approach with another approach. This is based on the fact that each teaching approach, in addition to having its own advantages, also has disadvantages. This research is a classroom action (action research classroom) which aims to determine the increase in learning outcomes of the concept of the characteristics of living things through an inquiry approach at SMP Negeri 2 Batang.
