THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH-BASED PHYSICS LEARNING MODEL WITH SCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO DEVELOP STUDENTS’ SCIENTIFIC PROCESSING SKILL
ABSTRACT: Physics learning in
SMA N 2 Padang was implemented through theory and practicum for verifying the
theories. The results of the initial survey showed that the physics teachers had
not yet applied the research-based learning. Supporting facilities such as
physics lab and its equipment has been already available, but it has not been
utilized optimally. Research-based learning is a model that can improve
scientific processing skills and learning outcomes of students. The research
aimed to produce a valid, practical, and effective research-based physics
learning model and devices. This research was a research and development using
the 4D model of Thiagarajan. The instrument of this research are interview
guides, observation sheets, sheet of validation of model and learning tools,
questionnaire for both teachers’ and learners’ responses, assessment sheets for
scientific processing skills, and achievement test. The results showed that the
developed model and the learning devices according to the assessment of experts
were declared valid. Model and learning devices were practical based on the
observation and the questionnaires. The application of research-based physics
learning could effectively improve scientific skills and learning outcomes of
students. This model is suggested to physics teachers in high school in regard
with implementing research-based learning.
