Addie Model

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease (Covid 19) in Indonesia has prompted the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Religion to urge schools to organize distance learning. Because of this appeal, schools and madrasas organize distance learning activities, including MTs Nidhomiyah Surowono, Badas District. However, the distance learning of fiqh subjects is only providing assignments through the WA group and there is no feedback from the teacher. This phenomenon causes the problems solving skills of the students to become low. So research and development (R & D) were done on the fiqh subjects to describe 1) the steps for developing somatic-auditory-visualization-intellectually (SAVI) approach through distance learning, and 2) the effectiveness of developing somatic-auditory-visualization-intellectually approach (SAVI) to increase the problem-solving skills on the fiqh subjects through distance learning. This research used the research and development (R & D) approach Borg and Gall model that combined with the ADDIE model. The testing model used an experimental pretest-posttest control group design. The result of the pretest and posttest were analyzed by the test of normality, homogeneity, N-gain scores, and independent-sample t-test with IBM SPSS Statistics version 21. The results showed that the SAVI approach was quite effective in improving students' problem-solving skills. This can be seen based on the results of the pre-test and post-test in the experimental class compared to the control class. From the experimental class, it was obtained that the pre-test results had an average of 52, but after receiving the SAVI approach, the post-test score was 67. Far different from the control class whose initial class average score was 49 to 56. This is also supported by the mean results of the N-gain score for the experimental class was 33.5513 or 33.6 which was included in the moderate or moderately effective criteria.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the education program prepared in accordance with the Common Knowledge Constructing Model on the 5th grade students' problem determination and problem-solving skills in the Science course "Biodiversity". The research sample consisted of 74 fifth grade students studying in a secondary school in Uskudar, Istanbul. In the research, a pre-test-post-test control group pattern, one of the quasi-experimental methods, was used. The study was implemented in the 2018-2019 academic year and 24 of the students were selected as experiment 1, 25 as experiment 2, and 25 as control group. In experiment 1 group, teaching in accordance with CKCM, in the experiment 2 group, teaching in accordance with CKCM was supported with out-of-school learning environments, and in the control group, teaching in accordance with the Science Curriculum. “Problem Identification and Problem-Solving Skills Test (PIPSST)” was used as a pre-test and post-test data collection tool in the experimental and control groups. As a result of the research, it was concluded that the education program with CKCM and out-of-school learning within the CKCM is more effective in increasing students' problem determination and problem-solving skills compared to teaching in accordance with the science lesson curriculum. It can be said that out-of-school education, which is included in the CKCM, increases students' problem determination and problem-solving skills more. In addition, it was concluded that CKCM and out-of-school learning and teaching improved skills such as analysis, synthesis, evaluation and prediction. When the answers given by the students in the experimental and control groups to the PIPSST open-ended problem were examined, it was observed that the physical, persuasion and political action solution suggestions changed in the experimental and control groups. It was determined that the most and different solution suggestions were in the experiment 2 group. This situation shows that the inclusion of out-of-school learning in the CKCM positively affects the physical, political and persuasion actions of the students towards the solution of the problem.
