IMPLEMENTASI PEMBELAJARAN OPEN INQUIRY BERBANTUAN MEDIA PhET SIMULATIONS UNTUK MELATIH KETERAMPILAN PROPOSING ACTION DAN INTERPRETING RESULT PESERTA DIDIK

IMPLEMENTATION OF OPEN INQUIRY LEARNING ASSISTED BY PhET SIMULATIONS MEDIA TO TRAIN STUDENTS' PROPOSING ACTION AND INTERPRETING RESULT SKILLS

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan keterampilan proposing action dan interpreting result peserta didik setelah dilatih dengan pembelajaran open inquiry berbantuan media PhET Simulations pada materi getaran dan gelombang. Penelitian ini menggunakan rancangan one-group pretest-posttest design yang melibatkan 18 peserta didik kelas VIII di salah satu SMPN di Kabupaten Tuban. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan, yaitu tes tulis, observasi, dan survei. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, normalized gain, visualisasi scatterplot, persentase aktivitas pembelajaran, dan persentase angket respons peserta didik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan proposing action dan interpreting result peserta didik meningkat dengan kategori sedang, namun keterampilan tersebut masih belum konsisten yang dibuktikan dari hasil reliabilitas. Keterlaksanaan pembelajaran dengan model open inquiry terlaksana seluruh tahapan dengan aktivitas pembelajaran yang lebih di dominansi oleh instruction active dan student on task. Respons peserta didik terhadap penerapan pembelajaran open inquiry berbantuan media PhET Simulations  mendapat kriteria sangat setuju dari setiap indikator. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa  keterampilan proposing action dan interpreting result peserta didik dapat dilatihkan dengan implementasi pembelajaran open inquiry berbantuan media PhET Simulations, terutama pada materi getaran dan gelombang.

This study aimed to describe the skills of proposing action and interpreting results of students after being trained with open inquiry learning assisted by PhET Simulations media on vibration and wave materials. This study uses a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 18 grade VIII students at one of the junior high schools in Tuban Regency. The data collection techniques used are written tests, observations, and surveys. The collected data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, normalized gains, scatterplot visualizations, percentages of learning activities, and percentage of student response questionnaires. The results of the study show that students' proposing action and interpreting result skills increased in the medium category, but these skills are still inconsistent as evidenced by the reliability results. The implementation of learning with the open inquiry model is carried out in all stages with learning activities that were more dominated by active instruction and student on task. The students' responses to the implementation of open inquiry learning assisted by PhET Simulations media received a very agreeable criterion from each indicator. Based on this, it can be concluded that students' proposing action and interpreting result skills can be trained by the implementation of open inquiry learning assisted by PhET Simulations media, especially on vibration and wave materials.
