  • Science has an important role because students can get to know the surrounding environment and all its contents. Therefore science learning needs to be presented with a good and relevant learning model that can support the development of science and technology. One suitable learning model is inquiry-based science learning, it can provide problem-based learning that can train students to solve problems. This research study was aimed to improve problem-solving and critical thinking skills for science prospective teachers. The study was carried out by implementing a Basic Science learning tools based on an inquiry model for the first semester students of the Department of Science Education Universitas Pendidikan Ganesha. The research employed a one-group pretest-posttest design. The results of the study showed that the inquiry learning model is effective for improving the quality of problem-solving skills and effective for improving the quality of critical thinking skills for science prospective teachers.
