Triple Approach Instruction to Improve Learning Process and Outcome of Integrated Science Subject

Abstract

The Triple Approach learning is the integrated learning of Chemistry, Physics and Biology using integrated approach of Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL), Process Skill Approach (PSA) and Science Technology Society (STS). The implementation of Triple Approach to the subject of science in the secondary school uses the integrated approach. The potential models to be implemented are ‘connected, webbed, shared and integrated’. The implementation can be conducted by a single teacher or by a team teaching. The steps of the Triple Approach are 1) determining the study area, 2) identifying the basic competence of each study area, 3) creating connection matrix between basic competence and uniting themes/topics, 4) clarifying the topics into the indicators of learning outcomes, 5) deciding the strategies and approaches used from the CTL, PSA, and STS, and 6) creating syllabus and teaching plans.
