Abstract
The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between Junior High School students’ perception of inquiry level and implementation of scientific and inquiry level in the science classroom. A total of 41 eighth grade students from two classes at Junior High School (JHS) in Yogyakarta were involved in this study. Students were selected through purposive sampling. Classroom observation, interviews, and documentation of views about scientific inquiry were used to determine knowledge of inquiry and implementation inquiry activities. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistic. The findings show that students who received science instruction through the implementation of inquiry activities still manifest difficulties moving from remembering activities into a true inquiry practice.
