| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to determine comprehension of physics concepts between the
students who studied using the Experiential Learning model and students who studied using
the Direct Instructions model. The populatoin of this study was a class XI student of SMK
Farmasi Jember. The sample was the XI.B grade students of 32 as a experimental group
and the XI.A students of 34 as an control group. The experimental group was given
Experiential Learning model and the control group was given the Direct Instructions
model. The research instrument was essay tests which was based on three indicators of
concepts comprehension, those were: translation, interpretation, and extrapolation
measuring the student’s comprehension of physics concepts; and questionnaire which was
based on indicators of learning motivation, those were: interest and attention, enthusiasm
for learning, responsibility, sense of fun, student reaction to measure student’s motivation
during the learning activity using Experiential Learning model. The data were analyzed
by using t – test. Result of this study were, 1) student’s motivation using the model of
Experiential Learning in the range 72% 78,47 % 86% classified as Motivated; 2) the
significance
value of concepts comprehension was 0,001 < 0,05 was outside the
acceptance of Ha. This study can be concluded that; 1) learning of physics by using a
model of Experiential Learning in SMK Farmasi Jember have a positive impact on
student’s motivation with the average percentage of each indicator were included in the
Motivated criteria; 2) there was a significant difference in the comprehension of physics
concepts between the students who studied using the Experiential Learning model and
students who using the Direct Intructions model in physics learning in SMK Farmasi
Jember. | en_US |
