The Implementation of Generative Learning Model on Physics Lesson to Increase Mastery Concepts and Generic Science Skills of Vocational Students

Abstract

The weakness of learning process is one of the problems faced by the education world. The learning model used has not been able to make students become active in the learning process on physics lessons. One of the learning model has been developed is the generative learning model. The students are required prepare themselves mentally and for understanding the material information studied on the generative learning activity. The knowledge with the mental a connection has been produced from the concept formulation by the active students in the learning process. This study represents a quasi experimental research design is the randomized pretest-posttest control groups design. The generative learning model provides a better impact in increasing mastery concepts of physics for vocational students. Generic science skills were developed on the lesson of vocational physics, mass and unit topic as well as particle kinematics are direct observation techniques, large scale consciousness of nature’s objects, fluency using the symbolic language, proficiency perform logical inference, and proficiency make the mathematics modeling. The Generative learning model provides a better impact in increasing Generic Science Skills of Vocational Students.
