Development of Student Worksheets Based on Discovery Inquiry and Fun Learning to Enhance Creative Thinking and Learning Independence

Abstract

Learning in elementary schools still tends to be teacher-centered, so it is not yet optimal in fostering students' creative thinking skills and learning independence. This study aims to develop and analyze the effectiveness of Student Worksheets based on Discovery Inquiry and Fun Learning in improving creative thinking skills and learning independence of elementary school students. The research was conducted at the Diponegoro Cluster Elementary School, Kembaran Subdistrict, Banyumas Regency, using the Research and Development (R&D) method in the Borg and Gall model. The research subjects were elementary school students, with qualitative data analysis techniques for feasibility testing and quantitative analysis using the t-test, specifically the independent sample t-test. The results showed that the Student Worksheets based on Discovery Inquiry and Fun Learning were deemed feasible by material experts and media experts. In addition, Student Worksheets based on Discovery Inquiry and Fun Learning have been proven effective in enhancing students' creative thinking skills and learning independence, especially in high and medium ability groups. Therefore, Student Worksheets based on Discovery Inquiry and Fun Learning can serve as an alternative, innovative teaching material that supports active and student-centered learning in elementary schools.
