Implementasi Strategi Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Anatomi Mahasiswa Calon Guru Biologi
Abstract: Research on Peer
Assisted Learning (PAL) strategy implementation in Plant Anatomy Course, which
aims to improve anatomic literacy of prospective student’s biology teacher, has
been done. This study used an
experimental method, with a quasi experimental pretest posttest control group
design. The draft includes a group of students who were given a pre-test (tests
performed before PAL treatment) which is then followed by observing the PAL
treatment process and posttest. The other students group (control) was given
the pretest and posttest only. The research instruments include a questionnaire
to recruit tutor, a set of pretest and posttest questions about anatomic
literacy, tutorial about anatomic literacy, and questionnaires about student
response to the PAL program. The results showed that the student’s anatomic
literacy in Plant Anatomy course increased with moderate category (N-gain 0,38)
in the experimental class and lower category (N-gain of 0,14) in the control
class. There was significant difference between the student’s anatomic literacy
that used the PAL strategy and control class with t value 3,729 greater than t
table 5,278 at α 0,001. Thus the PAL strategy implementation can be used to
improve student’s anatomic literacy. All students respond positively to the PAL
strategy.
