Abstract

Practicum become an appropriate method to give provisions in empirical experience especially for college student of Biology Education. Practicum was believed could show university students’ innovative behavior. The concrete form from using practicum method is learning model application that include learning syntax from the beginning to the end. Therefore, a research was did to analyze relation between practicum method towards innovative behaviour and the effectivity of it. Based on the result of regression analysis, all models give significance value p < 0.05 so could be known that every learning model give significance influence toward the formation of university students’ innovative behavior. Based on correlation coefficient analysis could be known that PJBL learning model give contribution value of 86.2% followed by guided inquiry of 85.4%, experiment model of 76.3% and observation model with contribution value of 64.7% toward the formation of university students’ innovative behavior. Based on the results of variance similarity analysis could be known that PJBL model is the most effictive model to form innovative behavior with difference value of 17.80 compared with other learning models. The result of research showing that all of the learning models when used on practicum relating the formation of innovative behaviour. Project based learning model gave contribution most effective towards innovative behaviour of the college students in Biology Education study program.

Highlights

  • Biology as one of a science discussing living things and their lives is expected to provide experience to the students in investigating the phenomena of life of living things (Saptono, 2003)

  • According to Woolnough & Allsop (1985) practicum needs to be implemented in the science learning because (1) practicum can arouse students’ motivation in learning, (2) practicum can develop students’ basic skills in conducting a research, (3) practicum is as the media for learning a scientific approach, and (4) practicum can support the learning materials

  • Until now there has not been students’ innovative behaviour based on the learning model which can be used as the parameter to maintain and improve the existing program to achieve the goals of Biology Education Study Program

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Biology as one of a science discussing living things and their lives is expected to provide experience to the students in investigating the phenomena of life of living things (Saptono, 2003). Until now there has not been students’ innovative behaviour based on the learning model which can be used as the parameter to maintain and improve the existing program to achieve the goals of Biology Education Study Program. Based on the description above, the hypothesis in this study is the use of practicum methods which is actualized in the form of application of the learning model has a significant influence towards the formation of students’ innovative behaviour and each model gives the contribution value > 61% towards the formation of student innovative behaviour. It indicated that effective learning model can form students' innovative behaviour
