PENERAPAN MODEL INQUIRY DENGAN TEKNIK MIND MAPPING DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPA-FISIKA DI MTs

Abstract

This study concentrated of inquiry model with mind mapping in science physics instruction. This study aimed: 1) to study the differences between the abilities of cognitive products students who learned by inquiry model with mind mapping and without mind mapping; 2) to describe the science process skills of students with learning models of inquiry with mind mapping; and 3) to study the differences between student’s motivation who learned by inquiry model with mind mapping and without mind mapping. The kind of this study was an experiment by post-test only control group design. The determination of area research was purposive sampling. Sample of the study were students in grade VII of MTsN Paiton at odd semester in academic year 2013/2014. The students in grade VIIB were as an experiment class and students in grade VIIC as a control class. Technique to collect the data were: interview, documentation, observation, tests, and questionnaires. Data were analyzed by inferential statistics using t-test by SPSS version 20. The results of t-test analysis using independent sample t-test on: student’s cognitive abilities and motivation scores were respectively p-value 0.002 (0.002  0.05) and 0.005 (0.005  0.05). It can be said that both of them were  rejected. In addition, the results of analysis of science process skills is 85.41 % (75 % ≤ 85.41 % ≤ 100 % ) so it is in good categories. The research can be conclused that: 1) There was significantly difference the abilities of cognitive products science-physics between the students who learned by inquiry model with mind mapping and without mind mapping; 2). Percentage of science process skills’ students in experiment during followed Physics learning science were in good categories; and  3). There was significantly difference student’s motivation between students who learned by inquiry model with mind mapping and without mind mapping
