The Study of Cooperative Learning Type Circuit Learning in TIK Class of Grade VIII SMP Murni Padang

Abstrak

The result of study of grade VIII SMP Murni Padang on learning of Teknologi, Informasi dan Komunikasi (TIK) still not reached the standard of completeness specified in SMP Murni Padang. One that is expected to overcome the problem is by applying cooperative learning model type Circuit Learning, through a research.

This research is an experimental research. The research design used was Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. This study compared the results of student learning that apply Circuit learning with the results of student learning that apply conventional learning in grade VIII SMP Murni Padang. The population of this study are students of grade VIII SMP Murni Padang Year 2017/2018 Lesson. The selection of sample was done by random sampling. After passing the test of normality, homogeneity, and equality of means, the class chosen as the experiment class is VIII - A and the control class is VIII - B. The instrument used is essay test.

Based on the statistical analysis (t-test), with SPSS application, the significance value of result of test is 0,096> α (α = 0,05). It means that student that apply cooperative learning model type Circuit Learning is as good as the student that apply conventional learning. In addition, based on the analysis of improvement of learning outcomes (index gain), the significance value of index gain is 0.107> α (α = 0.05). It means that the improvement of learning outcomes by students applying cooperative learning model of Circuit Learning is as good as improvement  of learning outcomes by students applying conventional learning.

In line with the findings of this study as discussed above, it can be concluded that cooperative learning model type Circuit Learning will be good in TIK learning. Dealing with such conclution, it is suggested to apply cooperative learning model type Circuit Learning on TIK learning to get a good result of study.
