PENERAPAN MODEL TEACHING WITH ANALOGIES (TWA) DALAM PEMBELAJARAN FISIKA DI MA

Abstract

This study focuses an implementing Teaching With Analogies (TWA) model in
physics instructional at Islamic senior high school. The study have two purposes. Firstly, to
examine the differences of students’ achievement between students were learned by TWA
model and students were not learned by TWA model. Secondly, to examine the differences
of students physics retention between students were learned by TWA model and students
were not learned by TWA model. The kind of this study was true experiment by
randomized post test only group design. The sample of this study were students in Islamic
school senior high school, where learn physics. The sample consisted of two classes. One
of the class was assigned randomly to the control group, and an other class was assigned to
the experimental group. Physics instructional process by TWA model was conducted in
experiment class. Physics instruction at control class by conventional model. The data were
collected by observation, documentation, test, questionnaire, and interview. The data were
analyzed by independent sample T-test. Both of physics achievement and physics retention
were analyzed by independent sample T-test. The results were: (1) there was significant
differences of students physics achievement between students were learned by TWA model
and students weren’t learned by TWA model; (2) there was significant differences of
students physics retention between students were learned by TWA model and students
weren’t learned by TWA model.
