Implementation of learning at the university level is expected to be conducted interactively and motivate students to participate actively in learning activities. But the reality in learning, still found learning problems about the low learning activities and student learning outcomes. While as an educator, lecturers should be able to know the problems in the learning process or lectures as an effort to improve the quality of learning. Solution to overcome the problem is by giving learning with Contextual Teaching and Learning approach (CTL) through observation method applied in Basic Ecology subject.The purpose of this research is to improve student achievement in Basic Ecology subject through learning with CTL approach and observation method. Expectations from the results of this study is as an information or input that the strategy and learning model with the method of observation can overcome the lack of activity and low student learning outcomes caused by the dominance of female students and the diversity of high school students so that the classroom climate is often noisy and reduced concentration at the time of learning. This research is experimental research, with one class of experiment of Biology student of FKIP Univet Bantara Sukoharjo second semester of class of 2016/2017 taking Basic Ecology subject. The data were collected using observation and test sheets. Technique of data analysis using T test analysis. From the analysis with T test Paired sample for two groups of dependent or pairs on pretest and postes data obtained Asymp results. Sig (2 -tailled) below 0.05 is 0.00 then Ho is rejected. This means that there are significant differences in learning outcomes before (pretest) and after CTL learning with the method of Observation (postes) in Basic Ecology subject especially on the subject matter of Population and Bird Diversity. Thus, it can be concluded that learning CTL with Observation method can improve student achievement in Basic Ecology subject especially material Population or bird diversity.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of collaborative based Guided Discovery in empowering critical thinking skills and social skills of students in High Plant Systematics Course. It was a quasi-experimental study with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design using one class as an experiment (pretest and posttest). The subjects of the study were 26 students of the fourth semester of Department of Biology Education, Universitas Bangun Nusantara Sukoharjo Academic Year 2015/2016. Data collection techniques were done with tests to measure analytical thinking skills and observation to measure social skills. Data analysis of the result of analytical thinking skills was quantitative descriptive using paired sample t-test, while the result of social skill observation was qualitative descriptive. Paired sample t-test resulted in a significant difference of pretest and posttest value of analytical thinking skill. The result of social skill score was nine students with very good category and seventeen students with a good category. The conclusion of the study was that collaborative based Guided Discovery effectively empowers the student's analytical thinking and social skills. Keywords: guided discovery, collaborative, analytical thinking, social skills How to Cite: Nugroho, A. (2017). The implementation of collaborative-based guided discovery reviewed from students' analytical thinking skills and social skills.
Outdoor learning was learning that gives students the opportunity to explore the surrounding environment as a source of learning. Students are required to be able to construct knowledge independently throgh the process of exploring the learning environment in Systematics of High Plant. This research aims to improve student cognitive learning outcomes through the implementation of outdoor learning in the subject of High Plant Systematics. The method used was classroom action research with 3 cycles. Each cycle consists of four basic stages, namely planning, implementation, observation and reflection. Samples used in this study was 22 fourth semester students of Biology Education Study Program, Faculty of Teaching and Education, University of Veteran Bangun Nusantara Sukoharjo .The study was conducted in March and May 2015. The cognitive learning was measured through the posttest. The results showed that the cognitive learning outcomes of students increased from the first cycle to the second cycle amounted to 27.56% and from the second cycle to the third cycle of 10.20%. Target of cognitive learning outcomes at least achieved grade of 75 in average.
This study aimed to know the characteristic of high plants systematics module based guided discovery in developing the ability to critical thinking for biology education students and to know the validity and practicality of it. This research used modified Borg & Gall's method that was research and information collecting, planning, develop preliminary from of product, preliminary field testing, main product revision, main field testing, operational product revision. The product was high plants systematics module based guided discovery that a valid and practical. Characteristic of this high plants systematics module based guided discovery was contains activities with stimulation, problem statement, data collection, data processing, verification, and generalization. The result of preliminary field testing include learning module expert validation, module expert validation and learning materials expert validation indicated that the module was feasible and did not need any revision. The results of main field testing included practitioner and student test shows that the module is feasible (practical).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
