Abstract..The objectives of this research are: (1) to determine differences in student’s
achievement with Inquiry based Learning in Multimedia and Conventional Learning. (2)
To determine differences in student’s achi evement who have high creativity and low
creativity. 3. To determine the interaction between Inquiries based learning in multimedia
with the level of creativity in improving student’s achievement. The sample was taken by
a cluster random sampling of two classes, which the first class as experimental class
using inquiry base on multimedia and second class as control class using conventional
method. The instrument consists of 30 items in multiple choice questions that have been
validated and reliable. The results of research are: there are differences in physical
students learning outcomes are taught by Inquiry based learning in multimedia and
Conventional Learning. There is a difference in student’s learning outcomes that have
high Creativity and Low Creativity. There is no interaction between the Inquiry based
Learning in multimedia with student’s level of Creativity in improving learning outcomes
chemistry. The generict ability aspect which be improved from this model
implementation are simbolic language, logical frame and logical inference
Keywords: Inquiry –problem Based Learning in Multimedia, Level of Creativity, generic
ability.
1 Introduction
Education is a conscious effort to develop concern human maturity, either intellectual
maturity, social or moral maturity. Education must also be able to realize the learning
condition in which students actively develop their potential for themselves to have the spiritual
strength, self-control, personality, intelligence, lofty character, also the necessary skills that is
needed in their society, nation and state (Department of national education, 2003). As
professional educators, certainly, the problems encountered are not hampered but a challenge
to be more creative and innovative.
In order that, for that numerous attempts have been made to improve the learning
outcomes of students in studying chemistry, including the maximize use of some media. In
research of Silaban, R. (2010) with the title the influence of the use of Macromedia Flash,
Power point Program and concept map Against the results of a Study On the subject of
Chemical Hydrocarbons can be inferred that there is an increase in chemical study results of
