PENINGKATAN KETERAMPILAN GENERIK SAINS DAN HASIL BELAJAR IPA FISIKA DENGAN MODEL LEARNING CYCLE 5E DISERTAI METODE EKSPERIMEN PADA SISWA KELAS VIII D SMP NEGERI 2 MAESAN

Abstract

This research was conducted base on the results of preliminary observations that was indicated a problems in the classroom learning activities such as a low of students generic science skill and the students science-physics achievement. The purpose of this research are to describe the increasing of students generic science skill and also improve the students science-physics achievement using Learning Cycle 5E model with experimental method. The kind of research was classroom action research by Hopkins design. The research was done in two cycle that started by pre-cycle activity. The subject of this research was the students of class VIII D SMP Negeri 2 Maesan. Technique to collect the data were observation, test, documentation, and interview. A technique of data analysis in this research was using normality gain formula (N-gain) to know the development of students generic science skill and students science-physics achievement. Based on the analysis of the data, showed an increase in students generic science skills from pre-cycle to cycle 1 with a score of N-gain 0.317 and from pre-cycle to cycle 2 with a score of N-gain 0.567. The students sciencephysics achievement has increased from pre-cycle to cycle 1 with a score of Ngain 0,203 and from pre-cycle to cycle 2 with a score of N-gain 0.395. The result showed that the model of Learning Cycle 5E can improve the generic science skill and the science-physics achievement in class VIII D SMP Negeri 2 Maesan on medium category.
