php/jipeuradeun/article/view/351 Abstract The learning process in high schools in West Papua tends to focus on studentsAo cognitive enhancement and ignore the aspect skill.
School is the frontline to develop studentsAo skills.
Metacognitive and process skills are the two skills needed by the students, and both should be trained and developed.
These two skills help students to implement an investigation process in which the investigation process can be well utilized using inquiry-based learning.
This study aims to find out the differences in metacognitive and process skills between students treated with inquiry-based learning and those who are taught using conventional learning.
This experimental study was carried out at Grade X of senior high school students of SMA Negeri 1 Manokwari.
The result reveals a significant metacognitive skill of 0.
000 < 0.

January 2020 e-ISSN: 2443-2067 Introduction A learning process will be enjoyable when it is delivered using interesting methods.
The classic verbal learning method is still one of the most implemented methods (Vycha & Rokos, 2.
Based on the observation, teachers in Senior High Schools in Papua Barat have designed learning based on the 2013 curriculum, yet, the implementation has not been as expected, and teachers are facing challenges in implementing this Teachers focus deeply on studentsAo cognitive assessment, whereas their skills assessment is yet to be carried out.
Even, the observation result also revealed that the average studentsAo learning outcome in biology in one of the Public Senior high school in Manokwari was only 35.
42 and in private high school was 53.
It is clear from the data that students are yet to achieve success in learning.
Thus, they need to be taught the skills to be successful in learning.
It becomes even more urgent for students to be taught skills as the time now demands them to be prepared to compete globally.
School is the frontline to develop studentsAo Metacognitive and science process skills are the two types of skills that need to be developed, especially in science classes such as, biology.
For students to appropriately accomplish their tasks, they need to be taught various skills, one of them is a metacognitive skill (An & Cao, 2014.
Veenman & Spaans, 2.
Metacognitive skill plays a role in the studentsAo success (Wang.
Chen.
Fang, & Chou, 2.
When studentsAo metacognitive skills are developed, they will become good individuals and become active learners (Zull, 2.
Students will be able to understand a topic when they are involved in direct interaction with the environment where they obtain authentic problems (Lameras et al.
, 2014.
Loyens & Gijbels, 2.
StudentsAo involvement with their environment can be carried out a thorough investigation.
In this kind of investigation, science process skill is urgently needed.
Science process skill is needed when students conduct an investigation (Damopolii.
Hasan, & Kandowangko, 2.
It is clear here that investigation activity needs science process skills.
Investigation/research can only be properly carried out when students are actively involved in the investigation process.
For this to happen .
JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Potential of Inquiry-Based Learning to Train Student's Insar Damopolii et al.
and for them to be able to accomplish their tasks, metacognitive skills are also needed to be developed.
On the other hand, learning implementation in the classroom also influences studentsAo success in learning.
Appropriate learning is needed for biology class.
Inquiry learning is an appropriate learning method that suits the characteristics of biology, learning that immerses students into authentic problems through investigation/inquiry process.
Exploration through nature observation needs to be taught to students (Ango, 2.
In the future, extensive research needs to be carried out to develop metacognitive skills in inquiry learning (Chen.
Huang, & Chou, 2016.
Hogan.
Dwyer.
Harney.
Noone, & Conway, 2015.
SynchezAlonso & Vovides, 2.
Where concepts can be easily understood, theorems can be mastered, and facts can be revealed through authentic inquiry activities in inquiry-based learning.
Hence, students can become thinkers and this process will influence studentsAo science process skills (Levy.
Thomas.
Drago, & Rex, 2013.
Myers & Dyer, 2005.
Yakar & Baykara, 2.
StudentsAo metacognitive skill is reflected in how they understand science, how they learn a concept in learning, and how they understand the concept within a topic taught by their teacher (Thomas, 2.
Science education aims to develop studentsAo metacognitive skills (Zohar & Barzilai.
Teaching methods employed by teachers influence studentsAo metacognitive development (Case & Gunstone, 2.
, and inquiry learning is one of the alternatives to develop studentsAo metacognitive development.
StudentsAo metacognitive skill determines the increase in studentsAo learning process within the class (Thomas, 2.
Meanwhile, in a biology lesson, science process skill .
hroughout this paper will be referred to as SPS) is a tool for students to carry out an investigation during the learning process.
SPS can also be trained in inquiry learning.
Various studies have shown the influence of inquiry learning on studentsAo metacognitive (Aswadi.

in their study revealed that the analysis process in inquiry learning demands studentsAo metacognitive skills.
This is shown that the metacognitive skill of the students is developing.
Following the analysis, the last stage of inquiry is conclusion drawing, where the formulation of the conclusion is part of SPS.
It is shown that inquiry-based learning has the potential to train studentsAo metacognitive and SPS.

in their study on inquiry learning utilization in science class found that inquiry learning could better train SPS in science learning.
In SPS evaluation, they used multiple-choice questions.
We considered that a shifting paradigm is needed in measuring SPS on science learning.
The essay test could be utilized to measure the SPS of the learners and it could better explore the SPS in learning.
At the end of their paper, they suggested to use inquiry learning and to study the effects on students.
Different findings are by Campbell.

On the second SPS test, the SPS of the learners in both groups were lower than the first test.
however, on the third test, the result was higher than the first and second test.
Nevertheless, their result showed that there were no significant differences in SPS between the two groups.
They expected further implementation of inquiry-based learning to improve the learning process.
JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Potential of Inquiry-Based Learning to Train Student's Insar Damopolii et al.
Based on the observation, results, and recommendations from previous studies, metacognitive skill and science process skills need to be trained to high school students in Manokwari by using inquiry-based learning.
The research question in this study are: .
are there any metacognitive differences between learners in inquiry-based learning group and those in the conventional learning group? And .
are there any science process skill differences between the inquiry-based learning group and those of conventional learning groups? Therefore, this study will discuss the metacognitive and science process skills of students in inquiry-based learning.
Method This experimental research used the posttest-only control group design (Fraenkel.

The instrument to assess the metacognitive skill of the students was a 9-item descriptive question integrated into the learning outcome test.
The Corebima rubric assessment was used to determine the level of studentsAo metacognitive skills (Corebima, 2.
This rubric comprised of 8 levels of description to describe studentsAo metacognitive skills.
Each description had its score.
The lowest score was 0, and the highest was 7.
This rubric assessment comprised studentsAo ability to answer the question, from unable to appropriately responds to the question, answering the question with their answer or not, the answer language was logically and systematically structured, and usage of several critical analysis to describe the answer.
To assess studentsAo science process skills, descriptive questions were The science process skill was assessed using observation, formulating a problem statement, creating a hypothesis, assessing, communicating, and drawing a conclusion.
The science process skill score range was from 0 - 4.
The number of test items for this science process skill was six items.
Metacognitive test skill and science process skills were to be used following the validation from three experts.

JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Potential of Inquiry-Based Learning to Train Student's Insar Damopolii et al.
Based on Figure 1 above, it is found that the highest percentage of studentsAo metacognitive skill achievement in the experiment group ranges from moderate to excellent by 74.
Whereas in the control group, regardless of the category, it is still moderate to excellent, the achievement in metacognitive skill was only 59.
In addition, in the low and very low category, the percentage in the experiment group was only 25.
This percentage is smaller than the control group score, which score was 40.
These percentage data showed that inquiry-based learning could train the metacognitive skill of the students compared to the conventional learning method.
Similar findings are also found in studentsAo science process skills.
The degree of metacognitive skill achievement is within good to the excellent category in the experiment group by 85.
The obtained score is larger compared to the percentage of achievement of studentsAo metacognitive skills in the control group which was only 56.
On the other hand, in the low and very low category, the experiment group achievement was very small by only 14.
81%, whereas in the control group the achievement was 43.
This data indicates that inquiry-based learning has the potential to train the science process skill of the students compared to conventional learning.
The detail achievement for each indicator of science process skill in experiment and control groups is presented in Figure 2 below.

Discussion In IBL, learning is implemented using the guideline or direction to assist students in conducting an investigation.
Damopolii et al.
state that IBL creates learners who are interested in learning through the investigation process.
The implemented inquiry learning is initiated by a teacher who presents a problem within a school environment.
Students formulate a problem statement that they must solve.
In this problem-solving process, studentsAo critical thinking is developed, where they need their metacognitive skills.
Metacognitive skill serves to control the studentsAo thinking process (Suwono.
Susanti, & Lestari, 2.
On the other hand, when they present a problem statement, their science process skill is trained, as presenting a problem statement is a science process skill.
Here, it is clear that at the beginning of the learning session, students have been trained to optimize their metacognitive and science process skills.
This is different from the students in the control class.
They do not actively participate in solving the problem and formulating the problem The teacher only provides an example of a problem from a natural phenomenon and provides an example of a problem statement without having them to actively participate in direct observation and formulating a problem statement.
This is clear that in conventional learning, metacognitive skill and science process skill are not well-trained.
hence, conventional learning has no potential to train these two skills.
This statement is also backed up by the .
JIP-The Indonesian Journal of the Social Sciences Potential of Inquiry-Based Learning to Train Student's Insar Damopolii et al.
finding presented in Figure 2, where it is clear that there is a 15 points difference in studentsAo ability to formulate problems statement between those in experiment and control class.
In addition.
Figure 1 also shows that the studentsAo metacognitive skill gap is 7.
89% in excellent category and 43% in the good category.
Even though the average studentsAo metacognitive skill in experiment skills only achieves a moderate category, this achievement is still better than those in the control group.
The findings in this study support the findings of the previous studies which conclude that inquiry-based learning can successfully increase studentsAo metacognitive skill (Adnan & Bahri, 2.
, as well as increase studentsAo science process skill (Damopolii et al.
, 2018.
Yakar & Baykara, 2.
, especially for high school students as the subject of this Even though their result in metacognitive skill and science process skill do not achieve excellent category, the usage of inquiry-based learning still has better potential to train their metacognitive and science process skill compared to the conventional learning.
Conclusion Based on the findings and discussion in this study, it can be concluded that inquiry-based learning has the potential to train the metacognitive and science process skills of the students compared to conventional learning.
Inquiry-based learning can train metacognitive skills moderately and process the skill of science well.
This finding serves as a reference for senior high school teachers as their initial step to developing both skills.
The development of these two skills in an effort to prepare students to be able to compete and strive in this globalization era.
The limitation of this study is that the applied inquiry-based learning is yet able to increase the metacognitive and science process skills of the students to the excellent category.
For this reason, future research is expected to more comprehensively study this issue with its variations to be implemented in the learning process for a better outcome.
