Sokoloff, 1989)
Considering different levels of inquiry (open- and guided inquiry), the findings introduced to
acquire more effective process. One of the best findings was that open-inquiry laboratory learning was
more effective learning process to motivate student in physics learning of sound wave than that of
guided-inquiry laboratory learning. The results showed there was a significant difference for all of
motivational subscales in both inquiry levels. This evidence is consistent with the claims that the
inquiry are a well designed learning process for science learning and can engage mindful investigation
in doing science (Bunterm et al., 2014; Sadeh a Zion, 2011). Moreover, open-inquiry learning through
computer simulation affected students revising unscientific understanding and improving their physics
outcomes (Srisawasdi, 2014). Also, Srisawasdi (2012) has mentioned that hands-on
microcomputer-based laboratory support improvement of attitude and perception toward learning.
Therefore, this implied that using inquiry-based could support the students’ leaning in affective
domain such as motivation. Especially, open-inquiry laboratory learning process where student have
opportunity to design, collect and analysis data, discuss with peers, make conclusion and
communicate findings by their own way delivered them a novel learning process of science can
motivate to learn physics greater than prescribed physics experimentation.
