Effects of Experiment Learning Strategy versus Expository and Cognitive Style for Physical Learning Result for Senior High School Student at Class XI of Senior High School

Abstract

The research was aimed to know Effects of Experiment Learning Strategy versus Expository and Cognitive Style for Physical Learning Result of Senior High School Student at Class XI of Senior High School.  Data was collected by test and observation. It is processed by ANCOVA and different test (t-test). (1) The result showed that all learning system groups have an increasing of physical learning result with learning on the two systems. (2) Average of student's physical learning result who has cognitive style of field dependent is higher than the student with cognitive style of field independent. (3) Experiment learning strategy gives an effect of higher increasing physical learning result than expository learning strategy. (4) Student group with cognitive style of field independent have lower average of student physical learning result who uses experiment learning than expository learning. (5) An increasing result achieved by student from pretest to post-test are higher because capability and skill of student when did an experiment.
