Application of Guided Learning Inquiry Model CmapTools in Physics Learning to Maintain Student Retention

The purpose of this research is to know the difference of retention endurance of the students on the direct current electric teaching material between the classes that implement the guided inquiry learning model assisted by CmapTools and the class that implements the guided inquiry learning model without the help of CmapTools. This study used a randomized control group pretest-posttest design study with posttest administered three times in the interval between posttest for seven days (one week). The sample in this research is the students of X-2 and X-3 class in one of the State Senior High School in Bandung City with the amount of 38 and 36 persons respectively. The results showed that the implementation of guided inquiry learning model assisted by CmapTools could further maintain student retention in direct current electric teaching material compared to the use of guided inquiry learning model without the help of CmapTools.
