PENERAPAN PENDEKATAN ACCELERATED LEARNING DENGAN METODE WHOLE BRAIN TEACHING DALAM PEMBELAJARAN FISIKA DI SMP

Abstract

The goals of this research are: (1) to examine the students’s achievement using the accelerated learning approach with whole brain teaching method is better than using conventional model, (2) to examine the activity of students during the learning process by using the accelerated learning approach with whole brain teaching method in physics learning. This research is included in true experiment research. Determination of research’s sample by cluster random sampling. The research design use control group pre-test posttest design. Data collection method of this research use observation, documentation, interview, and test. The students’s achievement is analyzed by use t test one tail analysis, and the students’s activity is analyzed by use percentage. The analysis result shows that: (1) the students’s achievement by use accelerated learning approach with whole brain teaching is better than conventional model (the mean score of students in the experiment class is 78.03 while in the conventional model is 77.83) in VII grade of SMP N 3 Jember for academic year 2011/2012, (2) the students’s activity during the physics learning using the accelerated learning approach with whole brain teaching methods included in active category is equal to 74.665%.
