Discovery Learning, Inquiry Learning, And Cultural Literacy Development Efforts Of Students In Learning History At School

Abstract

This paper will discuss the application of the method of discovery and inquiry in learning of history and cultural literacy development efforts through such methods. Discovery and Inquiry in principle is about the process of discovery, but procedurally there may be differences in the technical implementation. The use of both of these methods in the learning of history aims to steer students in the process of historical research and writing. Therefore, it can be said that the methods of discovery and inquiry are important instruments to foster a culture of literacy students in learning history. Research and writing of history made by the students are parts of practice and study in the process of developing literacy. Thus, one of the efforts to form and develop the cultural literacy of students in learning history can be done by using the discovery method and inquiry method.
