IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTEXTUAL LEARNING ON SPATIAL ABILITY OF CLASS XI STUDENTS IN LEARNING GEOGRAPHY MATERIALS OF NATURAL DISASTER MITIGATION

Kemampuan spasial merupakan kemampuan dalam membentuk dan memanipulasi objek yang divisualisasikan pada saat menganalisis objek secara tiga dimensi. Kemampuan berpikir spasial menjadi penciri utama dalam proses implementasi aktivitas pembelajaran geografi. Tujuan dalam penelitian yaitu untuk menganalisis implementasi pembelajaran kontekstual terhadap kemampuan spasial, menganalisis perbedaan hasil belajar kemampuan berpikir spasial dengan pembelajaran kontekstual, dan menganalisis hubungan pembelajaran kontekstual terhadap kemampuan berpikir spasial peserta didik SMAN 16 Surabaya. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu semu eksperimen dengan menerapakan pre-test dan post test pada kelas kontrol dan kelas eksperimen. Sampel yang digunakan berjumlah 62 siswa yang ditentukan secara purposive sampling. Teknik pengumpulan data diperoleh dari hasil tes kemampuan berpikir spasial dan angket respon peserta didik dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran kontekstual. Analisis yang digunakan menggunakan uji T-Test Independent dan Uji Korelasi SPSS 26.00. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa model pembelajaran kontekstual yang telah dilakukan memberikan perbedaan pada hasil pre-test dan post tes pada kelas eksperimen. Pada nilai pre-test kelas ekperimen didapatkan hasil rata-rata sebesar 72,3548 dan mengalami peningkatan nilai pada hasil post-test sebesar 82,0645. Berdasarkan uji korelasi yang telah dilakukan diperoleh bahwa terdapat hubungan yang kuat antara pembelajaran kontekstual dengan kemampuan spasial peserta didik memiliki nilai sebesar 0,964.

Spatial ability is the ability to shape and manipulate visualized objects when analyzing objects in three dimensions. The ability to think spatially is the main characteristic in the process of implementing geography learning activities. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation of contextual learning on spatial abilities, to analyze differences in learning outcomes of spatial thinking skills and contextual learning, and to analyze the relationship between contextual learning and spatial thinking abilities of students at SMAN 16 Surabaya. The research method used is quasi-experimental by applying the pre-test and post-test in the control class and the experimental class. The sample used was 62 students who were determined by purposive sampling. Data collection techniques were obtained from the results of spatial thinking ability tests and student response questionnaires in implementing contextual learning. The analysis used was the Independent T-Test and Correlation Test the SPSS 26.00. The results of the study showed that the contextual learning model that had been carried out made a difference in the results of the pre-test and post-test in the experimental class. In the pre-test value of the experimental class, the average result was 72.3548 and the post-test score increased to 82.0645. Based on the correlation test that has been done, it is found that there is a strong relationship between contextual learning and students' spatial abilities with a value of 0.964.
