Comparative study of learning models example-non-example and picture-and-picture on natural science subjects

Abstract

The research aims to investigate the difference of natural science learning outcomes between sixth graders in primary school taught using the models example non example and picture and picture. This experimental research employed a test as the data collection technique. Furthermore, data analysis techniques were the homogeneity test and the independent sample t-test. The criterion for hypothesis acceptance is that if tcount > ttable, therefore H0 is accepted and Ha is rejected. Based on the results and data analysis, it is evident that the example non example and picture and picture learning models have improved the learning outcomes of Grade VI students. It is demonstrated from the pretest and posttest average scores of Grades VIA and VIB that experienced an increase from 53.06 to 78.56 and from 17.47 to 66.09 respectively. The independent sample t-test shows the significance value of tcount is 0.005<0.05, therefore H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In conclusion, there are some differences in natural science learning outcomes using the picture and picture method in Grade VIA and the example non example method in Grade VIB and natural science learning outcomes using the picture and picture learning model is better than the example non example one.
