Abstract

Infused integrated learning management by using inquiry method is a learning technique that entails interlacing related concepts by employing a learning approach to seek knowledge. It can be used effectively in a science subject. Students can observe, experiment, and form conclusions about scientific ideas, which they can then apply in real life. This article shows an example of infused integrated learning management by using an inquiry method entitled “cell transportation” for grade-7 students. The process of scientific inquiry in this classroom according to Llewelly (2005) consists of 1) engagement, 2) exploration, 3) explanation, 4) elaboration, and 5) evaluation through the “golden century eggs” activity. The questions are as follows: 1) Are the darkness and saltiness of each century eggs sold in markets different? (2) How does the saltiness get into the eggs? (3) Which factors influence the saltiness of the eggs? (4) How do you make the century eggs golden yellow? and (5) Explain what techniques you use. In this exercise, students will be able to participate in observation, research, information gathering, teamwork, and experimentation, allowing them to explain and link what they have learned and present the discoveries of their learning rationally based on empirical data. This learning activity will also help students gain a better understanding of the diffusion process by allowing them to complete the work and discover the answer on their own. In addition, the process of pursuing knowledge equips students with the abilities they will require in the 21st century. Some examples of the skills are communication skills, information and media literacy, and teamwork. This will be useful for teachers to implement an infused integrated learning management by using an inquiry method entitled “cell transportation” for Grade 7 students that can be applied in teaching management in the classroom or can be applied under the Covid-19 situation to further develop students.
