Reduksi Didaktik Bahan Ajar Spermatophyta untuk Mempermudah Information Processing dan Menurunkan Usaha Mental Siswa SMA
Abstract: This research aims
to facilitate students in processing teaching material information and reducing
student mental effort in Spermatophytes learning. This study using post test
only control group design. The subject for this study was the tenth class of
MIA at one of Ciamis Senior High School, which consisted of 34 control-class
students and 37 experiment-class students. Teaching in control-class used
regular biology textbook from their school, then experiment-class used flow
chart as result of didactical reduction process. Informationprocessing of
student was measured by task complexity worksheet and student mental effort was
measured by questionnaire subjective rating scale (Likert scale). Student
learning outcomes were measured on aspects of reasoning using pencil test. The
data were analyzed statistically with mean test and correlation test. Research
outcome showed that student information processing at experiment-class was
higher and have significant difference than control-class. The high value of
information processing and low value mental effort students in the
experimental-class was significantly correlated with higher learning outcomes.
This outcome show that didactical reduction can facilitate students for
processing teaching material and reduce students mental effort so the teaching
outcomes become better.
