PENERAPAN PENDEKATAN KONFLIK KOGNITIF DENGAN METODE EKSPERIMEN DALAM PEMBELAJARAN FISIKA DI SMP

Abstract

The goals of this research were: (1) to know the activity of learn physics a
student during use the application of approach cognitive conflict with experiments method,
(2) ) to analyze the different of students’ achievement use the application of cognitive
conflict approach with experiments method and using conventional learn. This study was
a true-experiment research by using Post Test Only Control Design. Determination of
research’s sample by cluster random sampling. Data collection method of this research use
observation, test, interview, and documentation. The students’s activities were analyzed by
using percentage, and the students’s achievement was analyzed by using SPSS 16. The
analysis result shows that (1) the students’ activities in experiment class were better than in
control class, (2) there were different of students’ achievement by using the application of
approach cognitive conflict with experiments method and using conventional learn. The
analysis result of this data proves application of cognitive conflict approach with
experiments method impact on the activity and result study grade VII in SMP.
