IMPROVING LEARNING PHYSICS CONCEPTS OF KINETIC THEORY OF GAS USING STRUCTURED SCIENCE EXPERIENCE INQUIRY MODEL AIDED BY VIRTUAL LABORATORY OF XI MIPA-10 CLASS

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to describe the implementation of a
structured science experience inquiry model using the virtual laboratory
in improving learning outcomes physics concept of kinetic theory of
gases. The subjects were the students of class XI MIPA-10 SMAN 1
Malang in academic year 2016/2017. This research is a classroom action
research with two cycles that follow the steps of planning, action,
observations, and reflection. The design of this study refers to Kemmis
and Mac Taggart’s model. The instrument of this study is the RPP, the
test results of the cognitive aspects of learning, learners 'worksheets
(LKPD), observation sheets of the learner's activity (field noted),
observation sheets of learning implementation and learners' questionnaire
responses. The data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The
results showed that after the teaching-learning process: 1) the percentage
of learning implementation increases 4%, 2) cognitive test results
increase 75%, 3) the average grade of skill aspect increases 3,6, and 4)
the learners’ attitude aspect become better, more active during the
discussion, more respect the others’ opinions, more confident, the
curiosity is higher and more responsible for what was done.
