THE EFFECT OF CHILDREN LEARNING IN SCIENCE MODEL ON STUDENTS’ LEARNING OUTCOMES

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of children learning in science (CLIS) model on students learning outcomes in thermal expansion topic at VII Grade in SMP N 1 Tebing Tinggi. Students’ learning outcomes is considered better if teacher use learning model that make students have real activities like experiment based worksheet when learning activities occurs. One of the suitable learning models is children learning in science model that used in this research. The result that was obtained: there was difference of post-test mean value between the experiment class and control class. The hypothesis testing using t test and found t count is bigger than t tabl e thus H a was accepted. So it can be concluded that CLIS learning model has an effect on students’ learning outcomes in thermal expansion topic at VII Grade in SMP N 1 Tebing Tinggi.
