- Abstract
It is a crucial issue that the result of TIMSSÿin 2011 placed Indonesia in the 38th rank of the 42 countries for mathematics and in 40th rank of the 42 countries for science.ÿThese facts indicate that the students' skills in reasoning is still poor since the understanding of math and science is a reflection of the ability to reasoning.ÿThe new paradigm of learning requires students to be able to construct their own knowledge by inductive or deductive reasoning.ÿIn this case, the students need some guidance so that they are able to acquire the knowledge they need to understand.ÿThis research aims to develop learning guidance for constructing the knowledge of the fundamental laws of chemistry by inductive reasoning based on the presented data. The development of worksheets of this study was conducted using 4-D model of Thiagarajan.ÿ The results showed that the developed worksheet in this study is categorized as excellent which had 0.84 of Aiken's average validity coefficient.ÿTherefore, the worksheets were easy to understand, easy to implement, and were able to guide the students in constructing the knowledge of chemistry.ÿThe result of try-out displayed that the effectiveness of the worksheets developed was excellent of 84.37%.
