PENINGKATKAN KEMAMPUAN MULTIREPRESENTASI IPA (FISIKA) DENGAN MODEL QUANTUM LEARNING DISERTAI METODE EKSPERIMEN PADA SISWA KELAS VIII-A SMP NEGERI 7 JEMBER

Abstract

This research was conducted based on the results of observations which indicated the problems of the multi-representations science (physics) ability and students' learning science (physics) achievement in the classroom. The purpose of this research to describe the improvement of students' multi-representations science (physics) ability and the improvement of students' learning science (physics) achievement by using Quantum Learning model with experiment method. The type of this research was classroom action research by the research design using Hopkins cycle model. The research was held in two cycles and started with pre-cycle activity. The subject of this research was the students of class VIII-A SMP Negeri 7 Jember. The techniques to collect the data were interview, documentation, observation, and test. This data analysis technique was using normality gain formula (N-gain) to know the improvement of students' multi-representations science (physics) ability and students' learning science (physics) achievement. Based on the data analysis, was gained the improvement of students' multi-representations science (physics) ability in cycle 1 with the average of N-gain score about 0,345 and in cycle 2 about 0,450. The students' learning science (physics) achievement also improve in cycle 1 with a score of N-gain 0,32 and in cycle 2 with a score of N-gain 0,42. According to the data above, it can be concluded that the Quantum Learning model can improve students' multi-representations science (physics) ability and students' learning science (physics) achievement in medium category.
