Abstract

This study used a systematic literature review (SLR) of 10 articles to examine the contribution of the guided inquiry model in biology learning. The results show that this model significantly improves students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes. In addition, guided inquiry also improves students' mastery of concepts, critical thinking skills, and active participation. The effectiveness of this model is increasingly optimized with the use of supporting media such as scientific-based LKS, video tutorials, and digital modules. The study concludes that guided inquiry has great potential to be integratively and innovatively integrated in biology learning, providing applicative recommendations for teachers and theoretical contributions in strengthening constructivist learning.
