| 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 |
