MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN PROSES SAINS DAN HASIL BELAJAR BIOLOGI MELALUI MODEL PEMBELAJARAN EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING SISWA KELAS VIIA SMP NEGERI 1 GEDUNG AJI

Abstract

Learning biology emphasizes providing direct learning experiences to develop science process skills that should ideally be studied scientifically. The problem underlying this study is the lack of science process skills and poor student learning outcomes. In an effort to overcome these researchers used a model of experiential learning to enhance the learning of science process skills and student learning outcomes, so that students are directly involved in discovering and understanding yourself. This study aims to improve science process skills and learning outcomes biology students using experiential learning model learning in class VIIA SMP Negeri 1 Aji building totaling 32 students. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with 2 cycles each consisting of 3 sessions. Data science process skills acquired by students using observation sheet at each meeting, and student learning outcomes data obtained by giving a test at the end of each cycle. The results showed that: 1) the biology of learning using experiential learning model learning improve science process skills VIIA graders of SMP Negeri 1 Aji Building Academic Year 2012/2013 on materials Characteristics Being of Life. For the average percentage of students 'science process skills in pre-PTK by 24.19% after learning with experiential learning instructional model the average percentage of students' science process skills in the first cycle to the second cycle increased by 11.46% and has reached the target researchers that the percentage of 60% ≤ M ˂ 80% or higher qualification, 2) learning biology using experiential learning model learning improve student learning outcomes VIIA grade SMP Negeri 1 Aji Building Academic Year 2012/2013 on materials Characteristics Being of Life. Students who completed their study or exceed KKM ≥65 on the pre-PTK by 25.81% after learning with experiential learning model learning of students who pass their learning on the first cycle to the second cycle increased by 9.37% and have achieved the target of researchers that students who study completed ≥ 75%.
