Physics learning is expected to involve direct activity of students in the investigation process to build their knowledge. But in fact, learning is still teacher centered and the involvement of students in the learning process is still low. To solve that problem, need to use teaching materials in the form of student worksheet to guide students to developing and implementing the concept independently. The research aims to describe the preliminary study of student worksheet development. This research includes descriptive research and instrument used are questionnaire and interview sheet. Research subjects are physics teacher and students of second grade high school 2, 3, and 7 Padang, West Sumatera. And then, the results of the preliminary study described. First, the competence of knowledge and skill students needs improvement. Second, the use of learning models and approaches that involve students direct activities have not been optimally carried out by the teacher. Third, the available student worksheet have not optimally to guided students in developing and implementing the concept independently. This preliminary study describes the need for the development of student worksheet using the inquiry based learning model with science process skills approach for physics learning of second grade high school.
Learning Physics aims to develop knowledge and train students’ thinking skills. One of the things that can support that is when the teacher in the learning process actively involve learners. But in fact, teachers still dominate the learning activities by providing information directly consequently students be dependent. As we know, student worksheet has printed materials that help students learn independently, actively and creatively. Student worksheet can help students in finding a concept, apply and integrate it. The use of student worksheet is expected to help students in improving their knowledge and skills. The purpose of this study is to determine the analysis of developing student worksheet using inquiry based learning models (IBL) model with science technology society (STS) approach on Physics materials. Respondents selected in this study were students of class XI in SMAN 7 and 5 Padangs. Based on these observations, it is seen that the lack of interest of learners in studying physics and the lack of motivation of learners in physics learning. Accordingly to the result for the competence of the attitudes is good. Conversely, it needs an increase for the competence of knowledge and skills needs. The results of the analysis will be the reference for the development of student worksheet using the IBL model with the STS Approach for learning physics class XI.
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.
