Abstract
This research was focusing on the low of student’s learning outcome, specially on Basic Electronics subject at SMKN 5 Padang. The objective is to reveal the effect of applying inquiry learning model to the subject. By using true experimental with simple random sampling; one of probability sampling tecnique, the model wa enducted in experiment class. A control class where STAD type of cooperative learning model, was also implemented to compare the treatment. The primary data was measured by structured test (Pre-test and Post-test) according to basic competences described of the subject. based on the t-test result, complying the pre-requisite test such as normalityexamination, this research found that t>t0 (1,742 > 1,701). However, the result has shown that inquiry learning model is providing better student’s learning outcome than STAD model. Therefore, the inquiry model is more effective than STAD model as research conclusion.
