ONLINE LEARNING DEVELOPMENT MODEL WITH AN INQUIRY APPROACH TO IMPROVE PHARMACY STUDENTS' SKILLS IN READING TEXT FOR HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

This research is an early stage that aims to develop an online learning model by utilizing an inquiry approach to help students of the pharmacy study program understand terms in the pharmaceutical field. This research uses the ADDIE R&D model which contains: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation that have been carried out. The participants in this study were 40 students of the pharmacy study program from the Islamic University of Malang. The inquiry learning approach is carried out in four stages: orientation, exploration, and concept formation, application, and closing. The results of material expert validation obtained an average total of 94.7% with valid criteria, while validation by learning design experts obtained an average total of 88.78% with valid criteria without revision. Validation by learning practitioners resulted in a total average of 91.08% with valid criteria that did not require adjustment. The results of the calculation of the student's answer questionnaire in the large group resulted in a total average of 86.8% with valid criteria without revision. The results of the pre-test and post-test, the average value is only 62.5 and increased rapidly in the post-test, which is 89.55. The highest pre-test score was 74, while the highest post-test score was 88. The lowest pre-test score was 60, while the highest post-test score was 66. Furthermore, the number of students who achieved the minimum score in the pre-test was eight. (20%), and post-test were 36 students who passed the test (90%). Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the development of an online learning model with an inquiry approach can improve the reading ability and understanding of students of the pharmacy study program about pharmaceutical terms at the Islamic University of Malang.
