dc.description.abstract | This study aims to determine the effect of inquiry based observation of physic
phenomena model on science generic skills and cognitive abilities of physic science of
students junior high school. The population of this study was a class VII student of SMP
Negeri 11 Jember. The sample was the X A grade students of 38 as a experimental group
and the X B students of 38 as an control group. The experimental group was given inquiry
based Observatin of physic phenomena model and the control group was given the direct
intructions model. The research instrument was multiple choice tests measuring science
generic skills, analytical test to measure cognitive abilities of physic sciences, and LKS and
observer assessment to measure students during the learning activity using the models. The
data was analyzed by using t – test. The hypothesis of this study is that; 1)the inquiry based
observation of physic phenomena model can significantly influence the science generic
skills, 2) the inquiry based observation of physic phenomena model can significantly
influence the cognitive abilities of physic science. Based on the results, Ha is accepted if
p
significance
0,05 and Ha is rejected if p
> 0,05. Results of this study were, 1)the
p
significance
significance
value of science generic skills is 0,000 0,05 is outside the acceptance of Ha;
2)the p
value of cognitive abilities of physic science is 0,000 0,05 is outside the
acceptance of Ha dan; 3)activity of students using the model of inquiry based observation
of physic phenomene in the range 60% <77% <80% classified as Active. This study can be
concluded that; 1)the inquiry based observation of physic phenomena model can
significantly influence the science generic skills, 2) the inquiry based observation of physic
phenomena model can significantly influence the cognitive abilities of physic science, and
3) activity of students using the model of inquiry based observation of physic phenomena
classified of Active. | en_US |
