Penerapan Metode Praktikum Berbantuan Diagram Vee untuk Meningkatkan Literasi Sains dan Sikap Sains Siswa pada Materi Ekosistem Kelas VII SMPIT Bina Ummah

Abstract

This study aims to determine the increase in scientific literacy and 
scientific attitude of students through practicum learning with vee 
diagrams on ecosystem material. The method used in this research is a 
quasi-experimental with "static group pretest-posttest design". The 
research subjects were students of class VII in one of the junior high 
schools in Cirebon Regency. The sample is 65 students. The results showed 
that the implementation of practicum learning with the vee diagram was 
almost entirely carried out in accordance with the practicum stages. Based 
on the average difference test, the results showed that there was no 
significant (significant) difference between the average scientific literacy of 
students in the control class and the experimental class. The data 
processing techniques used are normality test, homogeneity test, and 
hypothesis testing (t test). Based on the results of the analysis using 
Kolmogorov- Smirnova that practical learning with vee diagrams can 
improve students' scientific literacy on ecosystem materials. The results 
showed that there was an increase in students' scientific literacy, especially 
in the aspect of competence in identifying scientific problems by 85%. In the aspect of science attitudes, practicum with vee diagrams is able to improve students' scientific attitudes on indicators of responsibility for resources and the environment. Most students expressed a positive response to the application of practicum learning with the help of vee diagrams on ecosystem material.
