This research aims to identify the difficulties of science learning among sixth grade students as determined and estimated by science teachers and students. To achieve the aims of this research, the researcher depends on the analysis descriptive approach. It identifies the percentages of the difficulty aspects included in questionnaires. For this purpose, the researcher designed two templates of questionnaires. First questionnaire consists of 20 items regarding the difficulties of science learning from students' perspective. Second questionnaire consists of 22 items regarding impediments of science learning from teachers' perspective. The validity and reliability of questionnaires were established. A random sample of 24 science teachers and 295 sixth grade students was used in Mubarak Al-kabeer area. The study was conducted in the second semester of the academic year 2018-2019.The findings reveal that there are no significant differences in the responses of students in different schools about the difficulties of science learning listed in the questionnaires such as the required topics quantity that forms a common difficulty for the student and the teacher in the same time , and some topics that needs longer time more than the given time in the lesson plans to explain and simplify them for the students. In light of the findings of the research were presented a number of recommendations and proposals, including: the need for attention to quantity and quality of academic content, where suitable for students in the sixth grade level and the specificity of the stage they are going through, the need to use teaching methods, activities and teaching aids, and to train in-service teachers on modern trends in science education.

ABSTRAKMayoritas guru IPA Fisika saat ini masih menggunakan cara-cara konvensional dalam pembelajaran IPA Fisika. Pendekatan pembelajaran ini dilakukan dengan metode ceramah dan tanya jawab. Kelebihan dan pendekatan ini adalah dapat mengajarkan materi yang relatif banyak dalam waktu yang singkat, tetapi pembelajaran ini memperlakukan siswa hanya sebagai objek sehingga siswa cenderung pasif dan hanya menerima pengetahuan dari gurunya saja. Pembelajaran konvensional hanya menyajikan materi IPA Fisika secara tekstual sehingga siswa kesulitan menerapkannya dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.Untuk meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran IPA Fisika dibutuhkan pembelajaran yang merangsang siswa untuk melakukan pengamatan, penyelidikan serta mengolah informasi sehingga pada akhirnya siswa dapat memahami konsep secara bermakna. Pembelajaran yang menekankan keaktifan siswa dan berpusat pada siswa merupakan salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk memperbaiki kualitas pembelajaran IPA Fisika.Salah satu proses pembelajaran yang sesuai adalah pembelajaran Cooperative Learning.Oleh karena itu penulis perlumelakukan penelitian tindakan dengan judul Peningkatan Prestasi Belajar IPA Fisika dengan Menerapkan Model Pembelajaran Cooperative Learning Kelas XI TKR SMK Negeri 1 Narmada  Kab.Lombok Barat Tahun Pelajaran 2016-2017 Kata kunci: problem possing; cooperative learning; prestasi belajar. ABSTRACTThe majority of Physics Science teachers currently still use conventional methods in learning Science Physics. This learning approach is carried out using lecture and question and answer methods. The advantage of this approach is that it can teach relatively a lot of material in a short time, but this learning treats students only as objects so that students tend to be passive and only receive knowledge from the teacher. Conventional learning only presents physics science material textually so that students have difficulty applying it in everyday life. To improve the quality of science learning physics requires learning that stimulates students to observe, investigate and process information so that in the end students can understand concepts meaningfully. Learning that emphasizes student activity and is student-centered is one of the efforts that can be made to improve the quality of learning science physics. One of the appropriate learning processes is cooperative learning. Therefore, the authors need to conduct action research with the title Improving Physics Science Learning Achievement by Applying Cooperative Learning Model Class XI TKR SMK Negeri 1 Narmada Kab. Lombok Barat 2016-2017 Academic Year Keywords: problem possing; cooperative learning; prestasi belajar.

The purpose of the research was to replicate commonality analysis for two measures: critical content monitoring and sentence verification technique. Participants were 967 fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students across seven public primary schools in a southeastern U.S. district. The predictor variables were administered as benchmarks 3 times in an academic year. Predictor scores were compared with science content test and reading comprehension scores from the Stanford Achievement Test–Tenth Edition abbreviated online form and a statewide accountability test. Commonality analysis results indicated that scores from both critical content monitoring and sentence verification technique added unique variance to explanatory models, replicating previous findings. In most cases, critical content monitoring scores provided the greatest percentage of unique and common variance to model explanations.
