PENERAPAN METODE EKSPERIMEN UNTUK MENINGGKATKAN PROSES SAINS DAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA (USAHA DAN ENERGI KELAS X SMA NEGERI 1 TONDANO)

Abstract

Physics is one of the subjects taught in high School (SMA) and is a subject that is greatly feared by students, various myths that affect motivation and have an impact on student learning outcomes. Physics learning has been described not only as learning in the form of knowledge transfer but a constructivist process that facilitates students to practice skills, build their own cognitive skills and foster positive attitudes. The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) the improvement of student learning outcomes at SMA Negeri 1 Tondano in class X on business and energy materials using the experimental method. (2) the improvement of science process skills in students of SMA Negeri 1 Tondano class X in the business and energy materials using the experimental method. Using qualitative and quantitative experimental research. Improved learning outcomes and science process skills based on the pretest and posttest were analyzed by statistical t-test using the SPSS program. The results showed that the use of the experimental method can improve student learning outcomes with t count 2.763> 1669 t table, so H0 is rejected and Ha. The use of the experimental method can improve science process skills with t count 5.011, thus t count 5.011> 1.669 t table then 1H0 is rejected. And Hα. Experimental learning methods are worth considering in developing physics learning strategies.
