The use of the MR-SR based PIMCA learning model in eye as optical tools subject

Abstract

The learning model has long been the focus in almost all research on physics education. Research was carried out on the physics learning model in the subject optical tool. The purpose of this study was to find out learning outcomes using the PIMCA learning model (Presentation, Idea Mapping, Conceptualization, and Assessment Formative) introduced and developed by Cosmas Poluakan. This research method uses the group pretest-posttest design. This research was conducted at the Manado State University Department of Physics with 24 students as respondents. The data collection instrument was a test. The research procedure started with the pre-test, followed by the implementation of physics learning according to the four steps of the PIMCA model, which ended with a post-test. The results of the data analysis gave an average of 43.75 before the test and 77.08 after the test. The results of this study show that student learning outcomes increase in optical eye subject. The results showed that the MR-SR-based PIMCA learning model was very effective in the physics learning process of eye as an optical tool subject.
