Science Learning Outcomes Student Class IV Through Application of Constructivist Learning Model with Direct Instructional Model in Primary Schools

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine differences in student learning outcomes using a constructivism learning model with the direct learning model in material science lessons Thermal Energy. This type of research is a Quasi-Experimental Research. Subjects in this study is the fourth grade students of SDN Cimanuk 01 of 60 people consisting of 30 class A and 30 Class B. The data were obtained from the pretest, potest and documentation. For the analysis of quantitative data were processed with statistical formulas. Based on the results of the research data analysis and hypothesis testing can be concluded that: There is a difference in student learning outcomes between experimental class using constructivism learning methods with classroom control direct teaching methods. This can be evidenced from the calculation using t-test normal data and homogeneous, ie df = n1 + n2 - 2 = 30 + 30-2 = 58, t table (0.05; 58) = 1.67155, t = 2, 91 t ≥ t table, then Ha accepted and Ho rejected. 2.91≥ 1.67155 obtained so Ha is received.
