Implementation of Demonstration Method to Students Learning Outcomes and Interests on Colloid Materials at Class XI Science of SMA Negeri 1 Kasimbar

Abstract

This research aims to examine the demonstration method on chemistry learning through colloid materials to learning achievement and interest of students at class XI Science of SMA Negeri 1 Kasimbar. This research was a true experimental design with pretest-posttest control group design. Sampling was carried out based on special considerations (purposive sampling) with 21 students in class XI science 2 as a sample of experimental class and 21 students of class XI science 1 as control class. This research instruments were a learning achievement test and questionnaire. Data was analyzed through descriptive statistical analysis, namely test questionnaire data, as well as inferential statistical analysis to test the hypothesis using two-party t-test. Analysis of questionnaire data of students’ learning interests showed that the experimental class was in the agree to category with a percentage of 78.05% while the control class was in the agree category with a percentage of 60.63%. Therefore, it can be concluded that the demonstration method in chemistry learning on colloidal material affects the learning achievement learning interest of students class XI Science of SMA Negeri 1 Kasimbar.
