The Effect of 7E Learning Cycle Model toward Students' Learning Outcome of Basic Science Concept

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of the application of the 7E Learning Cycle Model to the learning outcomes of the Basic Science Concepts of SD 2. This research is a quasi experimental study with a Randomized pretest-posttest Control Group Design. The population of this study was all students of PGSD semester 2 STKIP ADZKIA Padang in the 2018/2019 school year. Samples were taken at random so one class was chosen as the experimental class and one class as the control class. The experimental class uses the Learning Cycle 7 E model while the control class uses the conventional model. The data collection technique is in the form of a learning outcome test (cognitive). The analysis of the research results uses the t test at a significance level of 5%. Based on the t test conducted, it was found that there were differences in student learning outcomes using learning with the learning model Cycle7E with conventional learning. Learning with Learning Cycle 7 E model gives an effect of 72% (moderate) to the improvement of student learning outcomes in the Basic Science Concept Course.
