The results show the value of N-gain students in medium and high categories, the average character score of student responsibilities reaches good and very good category, so that cooperative learning of Jigsaw type assisted with card problem for effective learning outcomes and student responsibility character.

The Effectiveness of Role Playing Method in Learning Immune System Material on the Creativity and Learning Outcomes of High School Students

The problem that occurs in the education world right now is the low learning outcomes and student creativity. Based on references, the roles playing method is an effective learning method for increasing student creativity and learning outcomes. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of the roles playing method on creativity and student learning outcomes and to find out the effectiveness of the roles playing method on learning the immune system. This research is a quasi-experimental research with nonequivalent control group design. The population are all students of grade 11 in MIA MAN 2 Semarang 2018/2019 school year. The sample is determined by purposive sampling and 2 classes have selected as the experimental class and the control class. In this study the experimental class carried out immune system learning using the roles playing method while the control class used the lecture method. The results showed that 85.56% of the experimental class students has creativity with creative to very creative categories while the control class is only 41.67% of students included in the creative and very creative categories. Student learning outcomes data show that the classical learning completeness of the experimental class is higher than the control class with a difference of 36.12%. The average value of learning outcomes and the average N-Gain score of the experimental class students also have a higher average value of the control class. The implementation of learning the roles playing method gained a score of 95.56%. Based on the description it can be concluded that the role playing method is effective on the creativity and learning outcomes of high school students and it can be concluded that the role playing method is effectively applied to learning the immune system because the results of the study already meet all the indicators that have been set.

The Effect Of Applying Guided Discovery Learning (GDL) Model on the Students’ Critical Thinking Abilities In Budidaya Lele (BDL) Subject Grade 11 SMA N 10 Semarang

SMA Negeri 10 Semarang is a school in Semarang which applies Budidaya Lele (BDL) subject. This subject is in accordance with the learning reference in the 2013 Curriculum. One of the goals to be achieved in the 2013 Curriculum is improving students’ critical thinking abilities. However, the facts show that students’ critical thinking abilities in SMA Negeri 10 Semarang are still low. One factor causing the low level of critical thinking abilities is conventional learning model implementation and teacher-centered. One of the learning models that can help improve students’ critical thinking abilities is Guided Discovery Learning (GDL). This study aims to investigate the effect of GDL model on students’ critical thinking abilities of grade 11 science in BDL subject. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The research object was students in 11 science 4 class as the experimental class applying GDL model and students in 11 science 3 class as the control class applying conventional learning model. The aspects of critical thinking abilities measured were ability to provide simple explanation, ability to develop basic skills by using the indicators of considering trusted sources, ability to draw conclusion, ability to provide further explanation, and ability to manage strategies and tactics. The data was collected through tests and questionnaires. The data of test results was analyzed by using T test using SPSS and N-Gain test in Microsoft Excel 2010, while the questionnaire data was descriptively analyzed. The data analysis result of T test shows a mean difference in the experiment class and control class indicated by sig. value (2-tailed) as much as 0.000. The result of N-gain test, the experimental class has 0.43 value with medium criteria and the control class has 0.24 value with low criteria. The results of the two tests show that GDL model implementation affects students’ critical thinking abilities in the experimental class in BDL lesson. Students in the experimental class applying GDL model have better critical thinking abilities compared to students in the control class which does not apply GDL model.

Project-Based Learning: A Hands-On Activity to Improve Students’ Scientific Writing Skills through Lesson Study in Microtechnique Course

Project-based learning has been recognized as a dynamic classroom approach in which students actively explore real-world problems to obtain deeper knowledge. This study aimed to describe the implementation of project-based learning to improve students’ scientific writing skills. This action research study conducted based on Lesson Study (LS) which incorporated plan-do-see phase. The descriptive research was using 40 undergraduate students in the sixth semester in Biology Education Department, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Malang who attended Microtechnique course. The students’ scientific writing skills were measured using student worksheet which asked them to develop a scientific article. The measured parameters were how student proposed introduction, problem statement, method, result, discussion, conclusion, and reference. The data were analyzed descriptively. The result showed that students’ scientific writing skills were improved after implementing project-based learning. Some of the obstacles to implementing LS were related to the schedule and preparation. It can be resolved by conducting more intense coordination and regular discussions involving all research members.
