The results of a survey of students in six districts in Lampung Province revealed that natural science learning with the guided inquiry learning model has not all been carried out optimally such as in making problem formulations, making provisional assumptions (hypotheses), and proving provisional conjectures (hypotheses).Furthermore, students’ communication skills were not optimal in showing the truth of the data or opinions obtained from the results of the experiment and responding to statements from friends. The application of guided inquiry is not only to enhance students' ability to understand the material but also to train communication skills which are very important for students for more complex lives and to compete globally in 21st century.
