THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAIN BASED LEARNING MODEL USING SCIENTIFIC APPROACH IN MATHEMATICS LEARNING OF GRADE VIII STUDENTS AT SMPN 4 SUNGGUMINASA IN GOWA DISTRICT
ABSTRACT: This study aimed at
describing the effectiveness of the implementation of brain-based learning
model using scientific approach in Mathematics learning of grade VIII students
at SMPN 4 Sungguminasa of Gowa District. This study employed pre-experiment
research. The population was the entire students of grade VIII at SMPN 4
Sungguminasa of Gowa District. The sample is selected by employing cluster
random sampling and obtained grade VIII B as the experiment class. Data collection
consists of data of students’ activity in learning, data of students’ learning
creativity in Mathematics, and data of students’ response on learning. Data
were analyzed using descriptive analysis and inferential analysis. The
instrument used in this study were observation sheet on learning
implementation, observation sheet on students’ activity, learning test result
to measure cognitive ability and learning activity on Mathematics, and
questionnaire of students’ response. The results of study reveal that the
students’ activity is in very good category by the mean score 3.6, the
students’ learning outcome is in high category by the mean score 80.93 and the
deviation standard 6.95, the classical completeness degree is 91%, the
normalized gain of learning outcome is in high
category, the students’ learning creativity result is in fair category
by the mean score 66.18, the normalized gain of students’ learning creativity
is in fair category, the students’ response on the implementation of
brain-based learning model with scientific approach is in positive category by
the mean score 3.6. In general, the conclusion of the study is the brain-based
learning model using scientific approach in Methematics learning of grade VIII
students at SMPN 4 Sungguminasa in Gowa district is implemented effectively
