Abstract

The aims of this study are to find out: (1) student learning achievement taught by the Inquiry method, (2) student learning achievement taught by Conventional methods, (3) differences in student learning achievement taught by the Inquiry method and student learning achievement taught by Conventional Method. This research is a quasi-experimental research. The population of this study was all students of class X of the Islamic Senior High School in Kabanjahe, totaling 179 students. The sample of this study was students of class X-2 consisting of 37 students. The instrument in this study was a multiple choice test that was carried out before learning (pre-test) and after learning (post-test). Based on the results of the t test, found that t count > t table (4.924> 1.667), there was a significant difference in students' mathematics learning achievement. Mathematical learning achievement of students using the Inquiry Method is greater than student learning achievement using Conventional methods. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
