Abstract

Abstract: The aim of this literature review is to analyse the effectiveness of open inquiry learning on students scientific attitude. Open inquiry learning is a learning model that has the most complex level of scientific inquiry that gives students the opportunity to be able to identify errors, submit suggestions, to support or reject according to existing theories and concepts so that students can improve their ability to investigate independently in open inquiry and students are able to carry out supervision and self-correction. The method used in this study is a literature review. First, the researcher provides the definition of open inquiry learning. Next step is to find information about how to conduct open inquiry learning and the important things to do in open inquiry learning. Then, the researcher synthesizes some information about work had been done to improve scientific attitude in the previous study and make a connection with open inquiry learning. Based on the literature review, students scientific attitude will improve through clear instructions which involve students to design the chemistry learning activities. The finding indicated that open inquiry learning activities effective to improve students scientific attitude.
