Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the guided inquiry model in physics learning and its effects on improving students' competencies. This study employed a literature review method by analyzing 12 national journal articles published from 2021 to 2026 that examined the implementation of guided inquiry in physics learning. The data were analyzed based on the competencies developed, research designs, learning improvement outcomes, and supporting factors. The findings indicate that guided inquiry tends to have a positive effect on students' critical thinking skills, conceptual understanding, science process skills, and scientific literacy. Its effectiveness is influenced by the characteristics of the learning material, quality of guidance, instructional materials, and supporting media
