Influence of Model Problem Based Learning and Entry Behaviour Competence Learning Biology Students Class VII SMP Negeri 7 Kerinci

Abstract

                The observations made in class VII of SMP Negeri 7 Kerinci indicate that the learning process still emphasizes the knowledge and understanding aspects of the material. Active role of learners is still very lacking, early ability and learning competence of learners is still low. One of the efforts that can be done to overcome these problems is by applying the model of Problem Based Learning as one of the learning models suggested in Curriculum 2013. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of model of learning Problem Based Learning and early ability to learn biology learner’s competence. This research is quasi experiment research; this research population is class VII students of SMP Negeri 7 Kerinci year lesson 2017/2018. Sampling was done by using purposive sampling technique and obtained class VII_c as experimental class treated with Problem Based Learning and initial ability and class VIId  as a control class treated by  Direct Instruction. Instrument used in the form of objective test, observation sheet for attitude aspect and assessment sheet for skill aspect. The data analysis in this study uses t-test for knowledge competence, and test Mann Whitney U  for attitude and skill competence. The results showed that the value of learning competence of science of students experiment class better than control class students.
