Physics innovative learning: RODE learning model to train student communication skills

Abstract

Effective communication skills are 21st-century demands and are important to be mastered and developed by students in the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (4IR) era. Communication skills consisting of written and oral communication skills can be trained in physics learning through innovative efforts to develop learning models. The purpose of this study is to produce a hypothetical RODE model that aims to practice communication skills. Therefore, the development of the RODE learning model was designed. The hypothetical RODE model was designed by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the Project-Based Learning model and the Problem Solving learning model, learning theories and empirical studies by examining scientific journals and related research results. The research was carried out by conducting needs analysis, literature analysis, and field observations. The results of the study showed the hypothetic RODE learning model composed of the syntax Read-Outline-Discussion-Evaluation has theoretical and empirical support of research results and is designed to address the weaknesses of the Project-Based Learning and Problem-Solving models. The hypothetical learning model RODE that has been designed must be tested later to meet the aspects of validity, practicality, and effectiveness in training student communication skills.

Practicality of the RODE Learning Model in Order to Improve Student Communication Skills

“…Students converse about the subject matter, aid one another in understanding it, and support one another's efforts. (Husaini et al, 2019;Kusuma et al, 2020). The practice of having class discussions may create a more vibrant and engaging learning environment (Kastur et al, 2020).…”

“…Lecturers motivate and implement strategies to improve student communication with mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal persuasion, and students' physiological and affective state. Lecturers also provide feedback, praise, and opportunities for students to ask questions, and opinions, answer questions and give responses in the learning process so that student communication skills and motivation can improve (Kusuma et al, 2020).…”

The Effect of Rode Learning Model on Enhancing Students Communication Skills

“…According to Kusuma et al (2020), One of the demands and problems for the education process is students' ability to communicate effectively. According to Etkina et al (2006), among the scientific abilities developed by physics education research groups are the ability to represent physical processes in various ways, the ability to compile and test qualitative or quantitative relationships, the ability to modify qualitative or quantitative relationships, the ability to design experimental investigations, the ability to collect and analyze data, and the Studies in Learning and Teaching https://scie-journal.com/index.php/SiLeT Alpha Coefficient of 0,983 includes Excellent Reliability (Arikunto, 2016;Borich, 1994;Fraenkel et al, 2012;Hunaidah et al, 2019;Siswanto et al, 2017).…”
