THE ENHANCEMENT OF ANSWERING QUESTION, CONSIDER THE DEFINITION AND DEFINE THE PROBLEM IN CHEMISTRY BY SSCS LEARNING MODEL

Abstract

The objective of this research is to describe the learning model of SSCS that effective to improve the students’ ability in answering question, consider the definition and define the problem.  This research used quasi experiment method with Nonequivalent Control Group Design .  The Samples of this research were the second year students of MAN 1 Bandar Lampung in the even of academic year 2011-2012.  The research used two classes, XI IPA₂ and X IPA₃ which had the same characteristic.   The effectiveness of SSCS the learning model was measured by differences of significant n-gain.  The results of this research showed that the mean value of n-gain for students’ ability in answering question in control and experiment class were 0,19 and 0,54; the mean value of n-gain for students’  ability in consider the definition in control and experiment class were 0,30 and 0,32; and the mean value of  n-gain for students’ ability in define the problem in control and experiment class were -0,17 and 0,15.  Based on hypotesis test, it can be seen that the SSCS learning model is effective to improve the student’ ability in answering question and define the problem and ineffective to improve consider the definition.  Ineffective SSCS learning model in improving consider the definition skills because the teacher isn’t giving practice maximally these skills in the learning process.

Key words: learning models Search Solve Create and Share (SSCS), skills to answering question, consider the definition, define the problem
