MODEL PEMBELAJARAN GENERATIF (GENERATIVE LEARNING) DISERTAI METODE EKSPERIMEN PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPA-FISIKA DI SMP

Abstract

This study concentrated of using generative learning model accompanied by experimental method in physics instruction. The purposes of this research are: (1) To study the influence of the generative learning model accompanied by experimental method application to the students’ physics achievement in Junior High School, (2) To describe students’ science process skills during learning process, and (3) To study the relation between physics achievement and students’ science process skills using the model. This study is an experimental research by posttest-only control design. The techniques of data collection were observation, documentation, test and interview. Technique that used to analyze data is independent sample t-test SPSS 16 program to calculate the influence of the model for the physics achievement, precentage analyses is used for science process skills, and bivariate correlate SPSS 16 program is used for relations between students’ physics achievement and science process skills. The results showed that: 1) the significant value (1-tailed) is 0,012 ( 0,05), its mean the Ha is accepted (there is significant influence the model to students’ physics achievement), 2) the precentage of science process skills is 86,17% included in good criteria, 3) the significant value (2-tailed) is 0,030 ( 0,05), its mean the Ha is accepted (there is significant relations between students’ physics achievement and science process skills). Conclusions of this research are: (1) There is significant influence of the model application to the students’ physics achievement in Junior High School, (2) Students’ science process skills during the model are included in good criteria, (3) There is significant relation between students’ physics achievement and science process skills.
