Predict Observe-Explain Strategy Effects on Students Achievement and Attitude towards Physics
Abstract
Abstract: This study employed a quasi-experimental research using the pretest-posttest design to determine the effect of Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) Strategy on students’ achievement and attitude towards physics. A total of fifty-nine grade seven students from two intact heterogeneous classes participated in this study. The engage-explore-explain-elaborate-evaluate (5E s) learning cycle was utilized in teaching the control group while the POE strategy was utilized in teaching the experimental group. T-test was used in determining the significant differences between the two groups and within each group in terms of achievement and attitude. The findings of the study showed a significant difference (p is equal to 0.00) in the achievement scores of the two groups in the posttest. It was further revealed that the experimental group (m is equal to 11.47) performed better in the posttest than the control group (m is equal to 8.86), and registered a significant change in attitude towards physics (p is equal to 0.00) from neutral (m is equal to 3.38) to positive (m is equal to 3.76), while the control group maintained a neutral attitude. This suggests that the POE strategy positively influenced the academic performance and attitude of the students towards physics.
Keywords: predict-observe explain, 5E s learning cycle, attitude towards physics, students’ achievement.
Abstrak: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian quasi-eksperimental dengan desain pretest-posttest untuk menentukan pengaruh Strategi Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) pada prestasi dan sikap siswa terhadap fisika. Sebanyak lima puluh sembilan siswa kelas tujuh dari dua kelas heterogen dipilih secara acak dalam penelitian ini. Siklus belajar engage-explore-explain-elaborate-evaluate (5E) digunakan untuk mengajar kelas kontrol sedangkan strategi POE digunakan untuk mengajar kelas eksperimen. Uji T digunakan dalam menentukan perbedaan yang signifikan dalam hal prestasi dan sikap siswa antar kedua kelas dan pada masing-masing kelas. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (p sama dengan 0,00) dalam skor prestasi kedua kelompok pada ujian akhir. Lebih lanjut, terungkap bahwa kelompok eksperimen (m sama dengan 11,47) berkinerja lebih baik daripada kelompok kontrol (m sama dengan 8,86), dan teramati perubahan yang signifikan dalam sikap terhadap fisika (p sama dengan 0,00) dari netral (m sama dengan 3,38) ke positif (m sama dengan 3,76), sedangkan kelompok kontrol mempertahankan sikap netral. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa strategi POE mempengaruhi kinerja akademik dan sikap siswa terhadap fisika.
Kata kunci: memprediksi mengamati menjelaskan, siklus belajar 5E, sikap terhadap fisika, prestasi siswa.
