The purpose of this action research were to: 1) describe the learning process of recount text writing through quantum learning model with concept map technique, 2) describe the improvement of recount text writing skills through quantum learning model with concept map technique. This action research implemented three cycles. Data in this research were qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data were obtained from observation sheets, daily observation journals, as well as documentation. Quantitative data were data in the form of numbers from the results of writing tests obtained after the learning process with quantum learning model with concept map technique. While the data sources in this study were eighth graders of SMP Negeri 2 Cinangka academic year 2016-2017. The results showed that 1) the activities of learners in the learning process were increasing, 2) Students' writing recount text skills increased significantly after following the learning by using the quantum learning model with the concept map technique. The average score obtained by learners were 66.93 in cycle I, 76.53 in cycle II, and 84.67 in cycle III.
This study aims to improve critical thinking skills through the application of science-based learning tools REMAP TMPS model ( Reading Concept Map Timed Pair Share ). The type of research was quasi experiment with One Group Pretest-Postest design . The population in this study were all students of class VII at SMPN 4 Pujut and SMPN 6 Pujut with sampling using purpusive sampling technique so that the samples taken are class VII-A at SMPN 4 Pujut and VII-B in SMPN 6 Pujut. instruments used to measure critical thinking skills in the form of answer-question as much as 10. The results showed the average N-gain class VII-A higher than class VII-B. This suggests that REMAP TMPS-based science learning tools has effective toword student critical thinking skills.
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.
