The Effect of Teaching Models and Teaching Materials Towards Situational Interest

Abstract

Abstract-The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of teaching models (inquiry and direct instruction) and teaching materials towards situational interest. The sample of the research was Class X students at SMAN 1 Batujaya Karawang which was taken as random cluster sampling from 4 classes. The study uses a 2 x 2 factorial experimental design conducted over 16 meetings. Student's Situational Interest measured by using situational interest scale from Chen et al (2001) which had validity and reliability coefficients 0.718. Data was analysed using ANOVA. The findings showed that (1). Teaching models were not significantly giving the positive effect on situational interest, the significance values is 0.24. (2). Teaching materials were significantly giving positive effect on student's situational interest, the significance value is 0.002. (3). There was no significant relation between teaching models and teaching materials on student's situational interest, the significance value is 0.410. Based on the result, it can be concluded that teaching materials were more able to arise student's interest rather than teaching models, meanwhile game material which had been taught by using inquiry model was teaching physical education which students more like. It needed to be more research on mixture models between teaching materials and teaching models.
