Abstract

Abstract
The goals of this research were to determine the solving physics problem ability
using Learning Model Improving Capacity to Think (LM ICT) accompanied by
experiment method, examine the differences of physics achievement between using
LM ICT accompanied by experiment method with using conventional model, and
describe the retention of physics achievement using LM ICT accompanied by
experiment method. The method of this research was true experiment by using post
test control only design. The sample of this research was the students of eighth
grade at Jember 6 Junior High School, that consists of two classes. One of the class
was assigned randomly to the control group, and the other class was assigned to the
experimental group. The experimental group treated by using LM ICT accompanied
by experiment method whereas the control group used conventional model.The data
of solving physics problem ability were collected by problem solving student
worksheets whereas physics achievement were collected by test. The results of this
research showed that (1) the level of solving physics problem ability using LM ICT
accompanied by experiment method was good category. (2) There was significant
differences of physics achievement between using LM ICT accompanied by
experiment method with using conventional model, that showed with significant
value 0,035 was smaller than α = 0,05. This research also showed that (3) the
retention of physics achievement using LM ICT accompanied by experiment method
was 93,47% with very good category.
