Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Snowball Throwing disertai diskusi dalam Pembelajaran Fisika Kelas VII di SMP

Abstract

Purposes of this study were: (1) to examine differences in learning outcomes using cooperative learning model type of snowball throwing base on discussions with the conventional learning in teaching physics in the junior class (VIIth); (2) to study the student learning activities during the learning using cooperative learning model types snowball throwing base on learning discussion in junior high school physics class VII. This type of research is experimental research. The design of this study is control group pre-test posttest. Methods used to collect data were observation, documentation, interviews and tests. The data analysis used: (1) the percentage of students learning activities; (2) difference of pre test and post test score and use of t-test statistic to analyze. Analysis of the data using the t test showed ttes = 2.69 and ttabel= 2.18, so ttes>ttable the nihil hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the working hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Student learning activities is 91.16% belongs to the category very active.
