Learning Activities in Physics Using Students Worksheet Based on Predict-Observe-Explain (POE)

Abstract

This research aims to describe students learning activities through the implementation of students worksheets based on POE. This study was descriptive qualitative research. The research was conducted in one of the Islamic Senior High School in Bantul, Yogyakarta on Circular Motion material. The research subject was determined through random sampling. The number of subjects in this research consisted of 26 students in the first year. Data were collected using an observation sheet in 3 meetings observed by two persons and the interview. The results of the analysis obtained are expressed in terms of percentages and then interpreted in the form of scientific narratives. Data analysis results show that the students’ worksheet based on POE can be used to enhance students’ learning activities, especially in visual activities, oral activities, writing activities, motor activities, and mental activities with the most dominant activities is writing activities, and the weakest one is oral activities. Students feel that using students’ worksheets based on predict-observe-explain makes them involved directly in the demonstration or the practicum, can create their curiosity, make they even more seriously in the study, increase the interest in studying physics and help each other with their friends. But, the students’ confidence and speaking ability must be the concern, so students are not reluctant to share their idea in front of the class.

Comparison TTW Model with POE in Creative and Critical Thinking Skills in Physics lesson: Meta-Analysis Study

“…The same thing was also stated explained that using the POE model with an initial syntax starting from predicting the problems encountered and determining solutions to these problems, then making observations related to the problems encountered and finally clarifying the findings from observations able to train students in critical thinking. The same thing was also stated by Zulaikha et al, (2021) that by applying POE students are allowed to explore themselves in finding a truth that will build skills that are expected in the 21st century.…”

Development of El- Student worksheet Integrated with Hidden Object Games Based on Predict-Observe-Explain Model to Improve Critical Thinking Skills and Visual Representation of High School Learners

“…Oktaviami, (2022), claimed that students responded positively to the POEbased Student worksheet which indicated an interest of 64.89% for its application. El-Student worksheet based on the POE model has also been able to improve critical thinking and visual representation skills following research conducted by Olivia & Muchlis, (2021), Zulaikha et al, (2021) dan Khowatin, (2017) which states that learning involving the POE model is effective in increasing learning activities, especially oral, visual, writing and monoric activities and actively both in the affective and psikomotor domains to improve critical thinking and visual representation skills.…”

Effectiveness of Learning Modules for Topics Linear Motion Graph Fourth Form Physics

“…Melalui cara ini, maklumat mudah dilihat berdasarkan ciri-ciri suatu kumpulan. Pengetahuan sedia ada yang bercanggah dengan konsep yang dipelajari dapat diubah melalui pendekatan POE (Baran & Yasar, 2020;Vaara & Sasaki, 2019;Zulaikha et al, 2021). Pengetahuan pelajar mengenai topik Graf Gerakan Linear dikenal pasti melalui fasa meramal.…”
