The purpose of this study was to develop a guided inquiry-based biochemistry practicum guidebook for students of IKIP Budi Utomo. The development of guidebook followed the 4D- Thiagajaran model which has 4 stages, namely define, design, develop, and disseminate. The types of the data in this study were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data was obtained from the validator suggestions. The quantitative data was obtained through validator assessment scores and legibility tests. The instruments used to collect data included validation sheets and questionnaires. The results showed that the practicum guidebook validation percentages were 93.48% (material experts), 100% (learning media expert), and 81.5% (teacher) which were categorized as very feasible. It can be concluded that the biochemistry practicum guidebook is highly suitable to be implemented. Keywords: Biochemistry, guided inquiry, practicum guidebook © 2018 Department of Biology Education, FTTE, University of Muhammadiyah Malang, Indonesia INTRODUCTION Educators are expected to be able to develop competence in their profession. There are four kinds of competencies that educators must possess, including personal competence, social competence, pedagogic competence and professional competence. One of the pedagogic competencies was that educators are expected to be able to create and develop teaching materials in supporting the learning process. Teaching materials are materials or subject matter that were arranged systematically and used by teachers and students in the learning process (Munir & Sholehah, 2018). Teaching materials are unique and specific. Unique, because teaching materials could only be used for certain audiences in a particular learning process. Specific, because the contents of the instructional material are designed in such a way as achieved certain objectives of certain audience (Sadjati, 2012). Teaching materials were grouped into 7 types including printed teaching materials, display teaching materials, silent display teaching materials, audio teaching materials, audio teaching materials that were connected with silent visual materials, video teaching materials and computer teaching materials (Sadjati, 2012). Practicum was an activity learning aims so that students got the opportunity to test and apply theory using laboratory facilities and outside the laboratory (Suryaningsih, 2017). Practical instructions are guidelines written with the aim that students can learn independently or without the help of a teacher (Wahyuni, 2015). Practical instructions were instructions that must be followed by all practicum participants who will carry out practical activities. The practical guide aims to help the practitioner in practice. The practicum instructions made must be in accordance with the material taught so that the practicum can run as expected (Munir & Sholehah, 2018). Biochemistry was one of the subjects that contained theory and practice. Biochemistry was a subject that studies chemical reactions in the body of living things. The researcher carried out preliminary research, namely the analysis of the needed of teaching materials. Needed analysis was conducted on 2014 Biology education study program students who had taken Biochemistry courses. Needed analysis was done by giving a questionnaire once.The resulted of the needed https://doi.org/10.22219/jpbi.v4i3.6857 210 Developing of guided-inqury... Widyaningrum & Wijayanti / JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) / 4 (3) (2018) pp. 209-214 analysis of the Biochemistry practicum guidebook on the lecturer showed that the available teaching material was only a textbook containing the theory and there was no practical manual. The practicum guidebook that was needed was the language and instruction that were easily understood and ably made students find concept independently with guidanced from educators. The resulted of the needed analysis of the practicum guidebook on student indicated that the practicum guidebook has not been available during the learning process. The book needed is an easily understood step and stimulated students to work scientifically. Based on the resulted of the analysis of the needed of the Biochemistry course practical guidebook for student showed that as many as 92.9% of student expected practical instruction book whose language was easily understood and able made student worked scientifically. Research on teaching material in the form of practical manual was conducted by (Zulaiha & Ibrahim, 2014) regarding the development of a hydrocarbon chemistry practical guidebook based on science processed skill in high school showing very valid resulted from the three validators. A similar study conducted by Munika, Mujamil, and Desi (2014) regarding the development of inquiry-based acid base solution practicum instructions in the basic chemistry practicum II at the FKIP of Sriwijaya University showed valid results of 4 on pedagogical and highly valid aspects of 4.21 on design aspects. The purpose of this study was to develop guided inquiry-based Biochemical practice manuals. The guided inquiry learning model was used because it was capable reflection in developing self-regulating learning skill and continuous support from teacher and teacher librarian (Garrison & FitzGerald, 2016). The guided inquiry was a learning model that is able to accommodate the scientific work skills of students (Almuntasheri, Gillies, & Wright T, 2016; Ibe, 2013; Sandika & Fitrihidajati, 2018). The guided inquiry has problem identification syntax, hypothesis formulation, data collection, data interpretation, conclusion development and review (Joyce & Weil, 2000). METHOD The development of learning tools carried out follows the 4D development model (Thiagarajaan, Semmel, & Semmel, 1974). The 4D model has 4 stages, namely define, design, develop, and disseminate, while the research that would be carried out was limited to the developing stages. The development procedure consisted of a defined stage which consists of front-end analysis, student analysis, task analysis, concept analysis, and analysis of learning objectives. The next stage was designed which is done to produce a prototype of the development results. The prototype of the development resulted in this study was an inquiry-based Biochemical practicum guidebook. The next step was developing. Learning material at the develop stage through several repairs before it was ready to be used by the user. The process of improving learning materials was based on the formative evaluation, one of which is through expert judgment. Formative evaluation activities for Biochemimistry practicum guidebook were carried out by material experts, media experts, and Biochemistry lecturers. The validator were showed in Table 1. Table 1.

Readability test was carried out on classes that have taken Biochemistry courses, namely the 2014 class. The type of data in this study was qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data was obtained from the suggestions submitted by the validator. Quantitative data was obtained through validator assessment score and small scale test (legibility test). The instrument used for data collection include validation sheets and questionnaires (Thiagarajaan et al., 1974). The percentage technique was used to present data which was the response frequency of the subject of the trial to the Biochemisgtry practicum guidebook product.

Suggestions for product development are products should use more coherent sentences. The conclusion of product development was that products could be used with revisions. Table 5 obtained the results of the assessment of the validator material experts with a percentage of 93.48% with a very feasible category. The things that need to be revised based on the validator material expert was the practicum guidebook should be equipped with the introduction of laboratory materials and their usefulness, added a bibliography in each chapter, in the table of contents written in detail the title of each chapter and official report format added bibliography and interim reports. Assessment results from media expert validators with a percentage of 100% with a very feasible category. Assessment results from field practitioners with a percentage of 81.5% with very feasible categories. The thing that needs to be revised based on the field practitioner was that the practical guide should use more coherent sentences. The results of the product readability test assessment (Table 6) got a percentage of 61.67% answering strongly agree and 31.67% answered agree. Based on the summary of assessment results validator (Table 7) it was found that the biochemistry practicum guide received a very feasible category readability category. Practicum is a series of activities that enable a person (student) to apply skills or practice something (Zulaiha & Ibrahim, 2014). The objectives of the practicum include motivating students, teaching basic scientific skills, increasing understanding of concepts, understanding and using scientific methods, and developing scientific attitudes (Nengsi, 2016). Practicum activities can run smoothly if there are teaching materials in the form of a practical guide or practicum instructions. Practicum instructions are one of the supporting activities for practicum (Putri, Hasnunidah, & Yolida, 2018). The appointment of the practicum was Developing of guided-inqury... 213 Widyaningrum & Wijayanti / JPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia) / 4 (3) (2018) pp. 209-214 compiled and written by a group of teaching staff who handled the practicum and followed scientific writing rules. Practicum activities was one of the scientific work manifestation in learning. Practicum activities are experiments displayed by teachers in the form of demonstrations, demonstrations cooperatively by a group of students, as well as experiments and observations by students. These activities can take place in the laboratory or elsewhere (Salirawati, 2010). Table 5.

Inquiry that is guided by an instructional team to enable students to gain a depth of understanding and a personal perspective through a wide range of sources of information is called Guided Inquiry. Guided Inquiry equips students with abilities and competencies to address the challenges of an uncertain, changing world. Teachers cannot do this task or activity alone. Guided Inquiry is a way of learning that accomplishes the objectives of 21st-century schools. It is the way to meet the many requirements of the curriculum through engaging, motivating and challenging learning. Teachers and librarians work together to guide students thinking and learning through inquiry (Kuhlthau, Maniotes, & Caspari, 2007). The guided inquiry design process are open (an issue or contextual thing), immerse, explore, identify, gather, create and share, evaluate (Maniotes & Kuhlthau, 2014). Guided inquiry is an effective learning model that helped teachers in motivating students to ask questions that were an important part of inquiry- based learning. In addition, the guided inquiry model could increase students' self-confidence and student learning achievement. Biochemistry course was a subject that was difficult to understand by students, especially practicum activities. The guided inquiry was a learning model that was able to hone students' ability worked scientifically through investigation with coherent stepped so as facilitated students in carrying out practicum. CONCLUSION It could be concluded that the guided inquiry- based biochemistry practicum guidebook is highly suitable to be implemented in learning process. However, the practicum guidebook still needed to be further investigated regarding the dissemination. 214 Developing of guided-inqury...
