The implementation of problem based learning model with the science writing heuristic approach to increase mastery of concept and critical thinking skill at junior high school student on simple machine

Abstract

This research aims to know the increase mastery of concept and critical thinking skill through problem based learning model with a science writing heuristic approach on simple machine. Methods of this research using pre-experimental with one group pre-test - post-test design. The subject of this research is student grade VIII at one of Junior High School in Bandung. Instrument that used for this research is a test form of mastery of concept and critical thinking skill. Improvement mastery of the concept and critical thinking skill is measured by the normalized gain. The result shows an average gain of N-gain the mastery of concept is 0.59 with fair category. And the critical thinking skill is 0.63 with fair category. The response of students to the implementation of problem-based learning models with the Science Writing Heuristic approach shows that almost all students gave positive responses. Thus, the increase of mastery of concept and critical thinking skill and at students on the simple machine through the implementation of problem based learning model with the approach science writing heuristic has improved. Student responses to the learning model that is implemented positively.

Implementation of the Problem Based Learning Model in Science Education: Trend and Opportunity of Research Using Systematic Literature Network Analysis

“…The PBL model facilitates students in connecting the concepts learned with real world problems (Heong et al, 2020). This reveals that the PBL model facilitates students in developing 21stcentury skills, such as critical (Marthaliakirana et al, 2022;Susanto et al, 2022;Rehmat & Hartley, 2020;Seruni et al, 2020;Saputro et al, 2020;Puspita & Aloysius, 2019;Hakim & Meidawati, 2019;Rubini et al, 2019) and creative thinking skills (Wahyudiati, 2022;Sumarni & Sekarini, 2020).…”

“…Figure 8 shows that PBL research is also related to the topic of electronic learning modules (Purnamasari & Utomo, 2020;Seruni et al, 2020;Kurniati et al, 2021;Yunita et al, 2021), which is the latest topic being researched (topics marked in yellow clusters). Other recent PBL research topics are related to other topics, namely 21stcentury learning (Marshel & Fauzi, 2021;Ranggi et al, 2021;Parno et al, 2020;Saputro et al, 2020), physics (Wibowo, 2021;Parno et al, 2020), critical thinking (Marthaliakirana et al, 2022;Susanto et al, 2022;Rehmat & Hartley, 2020;Seruni et al, 2020;Saputro et al, 2020;Puspita & Aloysius, 2019;Hakim & Meidawati, 2019;Rubini et al, 2019), and scientific literacy (Amaringga et al, 2021;Parno et al, 2020;Wibowo, 2021).…”
