Penerapan Model Learning Cycle 5E Dalam Meningkatkan Keterampilan Proses Sains dan Hasil Belajar Siswa

Abstract

This research aims to determine the enhancement of students' science process skills (KPS) and learning outcomes in class XI at SMA Negeri 2 Tondano using the learning cycle type 5E model on the static fluid topic. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection phases. The research subjects were 18 students from the Physics Interest class (XI Peminatan Fisika). The results showed a significant increase in both learning outcomes and science process skills. In cycle I, the average N-Gain for learning outcomes was 0.50 (moderate category), and it increased to 0.63 (moderate category) in cycle II, with the percentage of students achieving mastery learning reaching 94.44%. The average score for science process skills also rose substantially from 67.94 (sufficient category) in cycle I to 89.52 (very good category) in cycle II. The discussion demonstrates that the five stages of the learning cycle 5E model directly facilitate the construction of conceptual understanding and the development of students' scientific inquiry abilities. It can be concluded that the application of the learning cycle 5E model is highly effective in improving students' science process skills and learning outcomes in physics.
