The Impact of Implementing Auditory Intellectually Repetition (Air) Learning Model Based on Learning Community for Students’ Creative Thinking Skills

Abstract

The aim of the research is to know the impact of implementing Auditory Intellectually Repetition (AIR) learning model based on learning community for student’s creative thinking skill. The research subjects were Indonesian second-grade students of junior secondary school in class VIIIB as the experimental class and class VIIIA students as the control class. Quasi Experimental is used as quantitative research designs. Data collection methods are observation, pre-test, and post-test. Instrument testing and analysis were carried out before conducting tests to measure discriminatory power, difficulty level of test items, reliability, and validity. Analysis of the data in the affective and psychomotor domains used descriptive techniques, cognitive domains using prerequisite testing, similarity of initial ability averages, and hypothesis testing. The results show that the learning instrument has reached values above 4.0 so that they are declared valid and feasible to be used for the learning process with the aim of exploring students' creative thinking skills. The application of the AIR learning model based on learning community give a positive effect on the students’ creative thinking skill. The average achievement aspect of student's creative thinking skills in the experimental class is higher than the control class.
