Application of Learning Model Learning Guided Discovery with Scientific Approach to Enhance Learning Competency Science Seventh Grade Students

Abstract

Classroom management VII SMPN 2 Gunung Talang not fully in accordance with the demands of Curriculum 2013. One was the application of learning models, which have not been able to improve critical thinking and curiosity of learners. Lack of critical thinking skills and scientific attitudes of learners have an impact on learning outcomes IPA competence which is still below minimum completeness criteria (KKM). This study aims to determine the increase competence of learners in learning science by applying the learning model guided discovery learning in class VII SMPN 2 Gunung Talang.

This type of research is classroom action research. The study consisted of three cycles. Each cycle consisted of three meetings. The subjects of this study are learners VII.i grade SMPN 2 Gunung Talang. Classroom action research design using a model Kemiss & Taggart, which each cycle consists of: planning(planning),action(action),observation(observing)and reflection(reflecting).The instrument used in this study is a test sheet of learners. Competence of learners is said to be completed individually, when reaching the KKM categories with 78, while classically when it reached 85%.

The results showed that the competence of the knowledge of learners ranging from prasiklus until the third cycle is 63.33%, 70%, 80% and 90%. The completeness of competence attitudes of learners ranging from prasiklus until the third cycle is 62.71%, 69.3%, 77.08% and 85.67%. Meanwhile, for completeness of competence skills of learners ranging from prasiklus until the third cycle are 71.66%, 72.57%, 83.6% and 85.83%. Based on this, it can be concluded that an increase in the competence of learners in learning science by applying the learning model Guided Discovery Learning in class VII SMPN 2 Gunung Talang.
