Abstract

Collaboration skills, critical thinking skills, and learning achievement are important for every student to have. However, the results of the researcher's observation in class VII D SMP N 4 Depok showed that collaboration skills, critical thinking, and science learning achievement were still low. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the improvement of collaboration skills, critical thinking skills, and learning achievement of students in class VII D SMP N 4 Depok after learning the Discovery Learning model with TarL approach on Earth and Solar System material. This research is a classroom action research (PTK) model of Kemmis & Mc Taggart with two cycles consisting of four stages, namely planning, action, observation, and reflection in each cycle. The subjects in this study were students of class VII D SMP N 4 Depok. Data collection techniques used observation, questionnaires, tests, and documentation. Data analysis of questionnaire and test results used descriptive statistics and n-gain test. The results obtained showed that there was an increase in cycle 1 to cycle 2 in the medium category, namely 1) collaboration skills with N Gain 0.413; 2) critical thinking skills with N Gain 0.413. Critical thinking ability with N Gain 0.474; 3) Learning achievement with N Gain 0.532. Thus, the application of Discovery Learning with TarL Approach is effective to improve collaboration skills, critical thinking skills, and learning achievement.

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the impact of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and contextual approaches on students' motivations for learning and achievements in chemistry lessons focused on acid-base materials. A quasiexperimental design with a non-equivalent control group was used, and the participants were 66 students of class XI Science students from State Senior High School 1 (SMA N 1) Kalibawang. Data collection instruments included pre and post-questionnaires and test questions. The findings revealed significant differences in students' learning motivations and achievements between the STEM and contextual approaches to acid-base materials. Both approaches improved students' learning motivations, with the STEM approach yielding higher gains.
