The Development of Guided Inquiry-Based on Physics Modules At Static Fluid Material to Improve Critical Thinking Skills

Physics is a learning that contains facts and theoretical concepts that can be used to help improve students' critical thinking skills. Inquiry learning is learning that emphasizes the thinking process of students through certain stages so that students find themselves the concept of learning. Using inquiry learning strategies can produce meaningful knowledge so that knowledge is inherent in students' long-term memory. The application of inquiry in educational units requires adequate supporting teaching materials, but the availability of inquiry-based modules is still rare. The stages of learning with inquiry strategies are 1) orientation, 2) formulating problems, collecting hypotheses, 4) collecting data 5) testing hypotheses 6) conclusions. Guided inquiry will be presented in the form of modules, so that in the module there are elements namely student worksheets, and observation activities. With these elements encourage students to find concepts directly from experiments conducted by students. The application of guided inquiry-based modules in learning is expected to enable students to find concepts based on experience.
