Correlation between student perception of learning model to learning outcomes in instructional methodology course at Universitas Negeri Padang

Abstract

Education for adults is different from education in secondary schools. The role of the lecturer is not only as a provider of teaching material, but as a learning facilitator. Thus, the basic assumption in adult education is that students have studied or at least have basic knowledge before attending lectures. Based on their basic knowledge, a psychological response appears within them, namely a perception of what will be followed during the lecture process. In the Department of Biology, Padang State University, we have implemented a model that we have developed, this model is a modified jigsaw learning model. Students’ perceptions are formed towards this model during lectures. We have calculated using a questionnaire about students’ perceptions of the learning model, and also count the correlation between this model and their learning outcomes (LO). We collect data using questionnaires and exam questions. The conclusion from our observations is the correlation value between students’ perceptions and their learning scores.
