The Effect of Cooperative Learning Model Type Group Investigation (GI) Assisted Macromedia Flash, Adversity Quotient (AQ) on Students’ Conceptual Knowledge

Abstract

This research aimed to analyze whether the conceptual knowledge of students using cooperative learning model of group investigation type assisted macromedia flash better than the conceptual knowledge of students by using conventional learning; to analyze whether the conceptual knowledge of students between students who have adversity quotient above average and students who have adversity quotient below the average; to analyze whether there is an interaction between cooperative type of group investigation-assisted macromedia flash and adversity quotient in improving student conceptual knowledge outcomes. The design of this research was quasi experiment with the design of two groups of pretest and posttest. Data were collected by using conceptual knowledge test and adversity quotient questionnaire. The population were all students’ of class XI IPA SMA Negeri 5 Langsa Academic Year 2016/2017 and the sample was class XI IPA 1 as experimental class and XI IPA 2 as control class chosen by random class. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA. The results showed that the students' conceptual knowledge using cooperative model of group investigation type assisted macromedia flash better than conventional learning. The results showed that the conceptual knowledge of students using cooperative model type of group investigation-assisted macromedia flash better than conventional learning. The students’ conceptual knowledge with adversity quotient above average showed better results than students’ with adversity quotient below average. This interaction showed the dominant conceptual knowledge of the cooperative type model of group investigation assisted of macromedia flash in the group having an above average adversity quotient.
