Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Learning Cycle 5E model on junior high school students' science process skills. This study used the Quasi-Experimental Design study with Nonequivalent control group design. The instrument used a science process skills test. The research sample is students in class VII semester II of Junior High Scool 8 Pekalongan, which purposive random sampling technique. The data were collected by essay tests of science process skills, observation sheets, and documents. Analytical data were used instrument analysis, pretest, and posttest of science process skills, etc. Based on the value of n-gain from Learning Cycle 5E class were obtained 66.33 with moderate criteria, so the Learning Cycle 5E model is moderate in science process skills. The students' responses towards the Learning Cycle 5E model were positive, 14 of the 15 statement items included in the excellent category. It indicates that the learning cycle 5E can encourage students’ science process skills.

Highlights

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Learning Cycle 5E model on junior high school students' science process skills
One of the lessons improved in its implementation in junior high schools is science learning (Surna & Pandeirot, 2014)
The science learning process in the 2013 curriculum emphasizes applying a scientific approach in each learning process (Permendikbud, 2013)

Summary

Introduction

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Learning Cycle 5E model on junior high school students' science process skills. The students' responses towards the Learning Cycle 5E model were positive, 14 of the 15 statement items included in the excellent category It indicates that the learning cycle 5E can encourage students’ science process skills. Science learning emphasizes providing direct learning experiences by applying process skills. One of the materials in science learning combined with the Learning Cycle 5E model is global warming material This material refers to BC 3.10, describing the causes of global warming and its impact on ecosystems, and BC 4.13, presenting data and information on global warming to provide an overview of problem-solving (Kemendikbud, 2013)
