Whatsapp Group Effectiveness In Forming Community Of Inquiry (CoI) Through Blended Learning On Reaction Equivalent Materials ; Keefektifan Grup Whatsapp Dalam Pembentukan Community Of Inquiry (CoI) Melalui Blended Learning Pada Materi Penyetaraan Reaksi

The aim of this study was to know the effectiveness of WhatsApp group in creating Community of Inquiry (CoI) through blended learning in Balancing Chemical Equations. The object research was 30 students of 1 Giri senior High School. The research method used was descriptive qualitative. The success rate of CoI through blended learning can be seen from the relationship of the three elements of the CoI framework: social relations, appropriate teaching methods, and cognitive aspect.

While the guidance carried out by educators is done by explaining the learning flow and directing students to actively interact and provide reinforcement for answers. The success of the cognitive aspect was obtained from the passage of all stages of CoI in constructing the Balancing Chemical Equations material. In this study, it was known that the exploration and integration stages dominate more than the other steps. This indicated that students were able to focus themselves on questions posed by other students related to teaching materials by seeking information through various sources. ; The aim of this study was to know the effectiveness of WhatsApp group in creating Community of Inquiry (CoI) through blended learning in Tujuan dari penelitian in adalah untuk mengetahui keefektifan penggunakan grup WhatsApp dalam pembentukan komunitas inkuiri melalui blended learning pada materi Penyetaraan Reaksi Kimia.
