ANALISIS KEMAMPUAN MENGANALISIS ARGUMEN PADA MATERI KOLOID MENGGUNAKAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN PROBLEM SOLVING

Abstract

This research is to describe the abilities to find similarities and diffe­rences and to indentify the conclusion of colloid subject using problem solving to high, middle, and low group of students.  The subject were student of XI IPA₅ class in SMAN 1 Natar, academic year 2012/2013 that.  This research used pre-experimental method, and one-shot case study design.  The result shows that ability to find the similarities and differences are, in high group 40% were excellent and 60% is good. In middle group, 20% were excellent, 55% were good and 25% were enough. And in low group, 40% were good, 40% were enough and 20% were poor. The ability to identify the conclusion, in high group, 40% were a excellent criteria and 60% were a good criteria.  In middle group 15% were excellent, 50% were good and 35% were enough.  And in low group, 30% were good, 50% were enough and 20% were poor.
