The Difference

The misconception of the Solar System topic is still found in students so that it becomes one of the obstacles in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Predict-Observe-Explain-Apply (POEA) learning to change the junior high school students' conception in the Solar System topic. Quasi-experimental research with the non-equivalent control group design was conducted in one of the private junior high schools in Bandung city. Samples were selected based on the test of the average significance of the pretest score of the population. Furthermore, 30 students of the experimental class and 32 students of control class were selected. The research instrument, which consisted of 15 four-tier diagnostic test questions about Solar System were used to collect data before and after treatment. The tests were analyzed quantitatively by using the Mann-Whitney statistical test to determine the significance of the difference in the acceptable conception changes (Acceptable Change) of students in the experimental class with changes in the conception of students in the control class. The results of the research show that the implementation of POEA learning is significantly more effective than POE learning in changing the conception of Solar System topic. The findings of this study can be an alternative for junior high school teachers in planning learning about the Solar System, especially in an effort to change students' misconception about the Solar System.

This study was conducted to determine the level of conceptual understanding and interest in Kinematics of 66 non-science curriculum high school students under a cooperative learning environment randomly assigned to the control (Traditional Method of Teaching) and experimental group (Cooperative Learning Approach). Student’s level of conceptual understanding was measured using a SOLO level-based Conceptual Understanding Test (CUT) and interest in kinematics was measured using a Student’s Interest in Kinematics Questionnaire. Before intervention, findings revealed that almost all of them could not answer questions that require one piece or more than one piece of given information, fact, or idea, obtained directly from the problem or ideas each used separately. They could not also answer two or more distinct steps, with no integration of the ideas or in doing algorithms with numbers using a set of useful information. Majority of them were on the prestructural and same level of conceptual understanding and has not really understand the concept asked, or with very little understanding, but they differ on interest level in learning kinematics in favour to the students assigned in the control group. After intervention, students exposed to Cooperative Learning Approach have significantly higher Pretest-Posttest mean gain score in the CUT than the students exposed to Traditional Learning Method. Almost half of the respondents were on the unistructural and less than one fourth were on the multistructural SOLO levels of conceptual understanding. However, students exposed to traditional method of teaching have interest that is significantly higher than the students exposed to cooperative learning approach. In terms of students performance students exposed to cooperative learning approach performed significantly higher than the students exposed to traditional teaching methods.
