Model Pembelajaran Experiential Kolb Untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Konsep Siswa Pada Mata Pelajaran Fisika

Abstract

Based on the results of preliminary studies, Physics learning process at school as the place to research have using conventional learning models, on the learning process of students tend to be passive. As a result, understanding of concepts was very low. Therefore, be required a proper and appropriate learning model. Experiential Kolb learning models can be an alternative learning model to applied,because in this model, students required to actively and creatively to construct knowledge. The purpose of this research is knowing an improved understanding of the concept, after application Experiential Kolb learning model on the concept optical devices. The design of this research using Control Group Pretest-Potstest Design with experiment sample high school students grade x at Majalengka citty. The results showed that the understanding of concepts have increase significantly viewed of the value of N-gain after application Experiential Kolb learning model. Based on the analysis of data obtained by the average of the value of understanding N-gain is 0,62 for the class have used Experiential Kolb learning model and 0,38 for the class have used conventional learning. It can be concluded that the Experiential Kolb learning model can further improve the understanding of concepts compared with conventional learning. Results of an analysis of student responses showed that students had a positive response to the application Experiential Kolb learning models.

Development of Digital Portable Auto Design Microscope Learning Media to Increase the Understanding of Concepts and Problem-Solving Abilities of Students

“…Science learning activities must involve students in their investigations and be able to integrate skills, attitudes, and knowledge to understand the science concepts [13]. Science learning activities emphasize direct learning to develop students' competencies in exploring and understanding nature scientifically [14]. Furthermore, the purpose of science education is to create students who master the concepts and their relationships to solve problems in everyday life [15].…”
