Abstract

This research aims to (1) produce a reasonable science student worksheet to improve collaboration and communication skills of junior high school student, (2) • determine the student's collaboration skills training by the Wadi worksheet, (3) • determine the student's communication skils training by the Wadi worksheet, (4) • determine the student's response after using the worksheets. This research is R D with 4 D models (Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate). The instruments used in this research consisted of validation form of science student worksheet, the student's questionnaire response form, the form of learning process with project based learning models, self-just my assesment of collaboration skills, peer-just my assesment of collaboration skills, observation sheet of collaboration skills, and observation sheet of communication skills. The data were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis for the data of worksheet's validation and students's response. Quantitative analysis for collaboration skills training of self-just my assesment; Peer-just my assesment; and observation sheet data and communication skills training of observation sheet data that for both of them by percentage calculations-gain score calculation U Mann-Whitney, and for percentage of learning process. The result showed that (1) the worksheet that has produced was reasonable to improve collaboration and communication skills of junior high school student; (2) student's collaboration skills training have moderate categories, 31.54% from it is "enough" to be "good" with significantly difference before and after using the worksheet score, by signification value (Sig) was 0.000; (3) the student's communication skills training have moderate categories, it is 47.96% from "less" to be "good" with significantly difference before and after using the worksheet score, by signification value (Sig) was 0.000; (4) the student's response got the worksheet with very well categories (A).

Highlights

  • Education has a strategic role to prepare the young generation who meet qualifications appropriate to the challenges of the 21st century, which includes skills that focus on the skills of learning innovation (1) critical thinking and problem solving; (2) communication and collaboration; and (3) creativity and invention (Trilling, 2009: 49)

  • Based on early observations conducted in SMP N 1 clove cigarettes obtained problems: (1) the collaborative skills of learners is still low, indicated by the absence of a clear division of tasks at the moment are working together in groups and lack of sense of value the between group members; (2) communication skills are still characterized by low skills speaking learners is not good; (3) teachers very rarely use the learning materials in the form of science student worksheet and if using only refers to the text book and there is no development of teachers

  • Based on average percentage value increases collaboration skills of 31.54% of the category be good while the results of the analysis show that the increase in gain score categories are of 0.61

Summary

Introduction

Education has a strategic role to prepare the young generation who meet qualifications appropriate to the challenges of the 21st century, which includes skills that focus on the skills of learning innovation (1) critical thinking and problem solving; (2) communication and collaboration; and (3) creativity and invention (Trilling, 2009: 49). At the moment a lot of practice learning the IPA lacking build skills needed in the workforce, especially the skills of communication and collaboration. Based on early observations conducted in SMP N 1 clove cigarettes obtained problems: (1) the collaborative skills of learners is still low, indicated by the absence of a clear division of tasks at the moment are working together in groups and lack of sense of value the between group members; (2) communication skills are still characterized by low skills speaking learners is not good; (3) teachers very rarely use the learning materials in the form of science student worksheet and if using only refers to the text book and there is no development of teachers
