Development of Guided Inquiry-Based Accounting Learning Module to Improve Students’ Learning Outcomes in State Vocational High School 1 Karanganyar

Abstract

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of guided inquiry-based accounting learning modules to improve the students’ learning outcomes in State Vocational High School (SVHS) 1 Karanganyar. This research is a research and development (R & D). This media development model used the design from Borg & Gall. The test was conducted in two classes, namely class XI AK 1 (experimental class) and XI AK 2 (control class) at SVHS 1 Karanganyar. The analysis prerequisite tests included normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test. The analysis technique used is qualitative and quantitative descriptive. The results of the research on the effectiveness of guided inquiry-based accounting learning modules show that t > t_table = (0.248 > 1.99), then H₀ is rejected. It means that the two groups have different learning outcome scores. The posttest results between the experimental class (using the developed learning module) and the control class (not using the developed learning module) showed that the mean score of the experimental class was 80.45, which was higher than that of the control class of 73.77. It can be summed up that the development of guided inquiry-based accounting learning modules is effective in improving the students’ learning outcomes in SVHS 1 Karanganyar.
