The Development of Scientific Conception on Atomic Structure for 10th Grade Student's Implemented Inquiry Based Learning with Animation

Abstract

The objective of this research was to explore the development of scientific concepts on the atomic structure by organizing inquiry-based learning in conjunction with animation media through
professional learning communities and finding good practices in teaching the target group in
education, namely 42 students in Grade 4 using a specific selection method. The tools used to collect data are 1) scientific concept assessment, 2) post-teaching notes and student activity sheets, and 3) class observation through professional learning communities. The study found that after learning, students had a 58.85% increase in scientific ideas and good practices for organizing inquiry-based learning in conjunction with animation media that help develop scientific concepts, such as the use of animation media together with the use of interrogation questions and discussion exercises. Activities that use theoretical assumptions or the connection of things around them. Learning activities that allow students to evaluate critical thinking through the use of questions, generate interest and expand knowledge. Practicing the interpretation of experiments together with animation media into drawings will lead to the presentation of models that correspond to the experimental methodology. It can make students more scientifically minded.
