Aplikasi Teori Kognitif Model Pembelajaran Konstrutivism Melalui Penerapan “Learning Cycle” dan “Map Konsep” Untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Biologi Pada Siswa Kelas VIII SMP Al-Amin Kedung Kandang Malang

Abstract

The difficulties faced by the students in the field of science studies biology that causes passivity and low impact on learning outcomes. Starting from this, the researchers would have to give an appreciation and solutions innovative learning model through the application of the application of "learning Cycle and Folder Concept", where learners are given the freedom as much as possible to create a map of the mind / concept that can connect and relate the material to be learned , The purpose of this study was to determine how the application of learning models LC (learning cycle) and map the concept of biology to improve learning outcomes. The approach used is classroom action research (PTK). Subjects were students of class VIII SMP Al-Amin Kedung Kandang Malang, totaling 42 students. The research was August 3 until 3 November 2015. The results of the research and data analysis Frequency learning outcomes of students in the first cycle was 69.52 with a percentage of 38.10%, the second cycle frequency of the learning outcomes at 78.92 with a percentage of 80.95% , -rata Average test scores of students in pre-cycle is 65.24, then rose to 69.52 in the first cycle, and reached 78.92 in Cycle II. Percentage completeness of classical study on pre Cycle only further increased 26.19% 38.10% in Cycle I, and the percentage of completeness of classical study in Cycle II reached 80.95%. The conclusion that the application of the learning model application "learning cycle and folders concept" can improve learning outcomes biology class VIII SMP Al-Amin Kedung Kandang Malang.
