PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN VAK (VISUALIZATION AUDITORY KINESTHETIC) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN EFEKTIVITASPEMBELAJARAN DI KELAS X IPS-1 SMA PGII 2 BANDUNG

Hasil observasi awal dalam pembelajaran Geografi di kelas X IPS 1 SMA PGII 2 Bandung menunjukkan efektivitas pembelajaran peserta didik yang tergolong rendah. Hal ini terlihat pada ketuntasan belajar yang belum memenuhi ketuntasan belajar minimal (KBM) dengan angka ketuntasan yaitu 65. Terdapat 15 peserta didik yang belum mencapai ketuntasan belajar minimal (KBM), dan masih banyak peserta didik yang melakukan kegiatan lain yang tidak berkaitan dengan aktivitas pembelajaran. Karena itu diperlukan solusi untuk meningkatakan efektivitas pembelajaran, salah satunya dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran VAK (Visualization Auditory Kinesthetic). Penelitian ini bertujuan: (1) Menerapkan model pembelajaran VAK, (2) Meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran peserta didik (3) Mendeskripsikan kesulitan penerapan model pembelajaran VAK. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian tindakan kelas yang terdiri dari satu siklus dengan tiga tindakan. Instrumen penelitian yang digunakan adalah lembar observasi peserta didik dan guru. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) Penerapan model pembelajaran VAK berjalan efektif sehingga meningkatkan aktivitas belajar peserta didik dan guru. (2) Penerapan model pembelajaran VAK dapat meningkatkan efektivitas pembelajaran peserta didik, pada tindakan pertama rata-rata efektivitas belajar peserta didik 72,91%. Naik pada tindakan kedua rata-rata efektivitas belajar peserta didik 84,37%. Mengalami peningkatan pada tindakan ketiga rata-rata efektivitas belajar peserta didik 97,91%, hal tersebut dapat dilihat dari peserta didik yang semangat dan aktif dalam proses pembelajaran. (3) Kendala yang dihadapi peserta didik belum terbiasa dengan pembelajaran student oriented sehingga peserta didik masih ragu-ragu dalam mengungkapkan pendapat maupun menanyakan sesuatu hal yang berkaitan dengan materi pembelajaran. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran VAK dapat meningkatakan efektivitas pembelajaran peserta didik. ;---The result of the first observation in learning Geography in X grade of Social 1 SMA PGII 2 Bandung showed the learning effectiveness among students were categorized in low level. This case could be seen in the learning completeness which had not fulfilled the minimal learning completeness (KBM) with the score of 65. There were 15 students that had not achieved the minimal learning completeness (KBM), and there were many students that had other activities that were not related to the learning activity. Due to this issue, the solution is needed to improve learning effectiveness, one of those solutions is by applying VAK (Visualization Auditory Kinesthetic) learning model. This study is aimed to : (1) Apply the VAK learning model, (2) Improve the learning effectiveness for students (3) Describe the difficulties of the implication of VAK learning model. This study used classroom action research which contains of one cycle with three actions. The research instruments used in this study was observation sheets for students and teacher. The findings indicate that: (1) The application of VAK learning model worked effectively so it does improve the teaching and learning activity among students and teacher. The application of VAK learning model is able to improve the effectiveness of students’ learning. In the first action, the average of the students’ learning effectiveness was 72,91%. The score was higher in the second action, the average of students’ learning effectiveness was 84,37%. Rising in the third action which had the average of students’ learning effectiveness in the score of 97,91%, this case could be seen from the students who were passionate and active in the learning process. (3) The constraint faced by the students was that they were not familiar with the student oriented learning so the students were still hesitant in expressing their opinions and asking questions that relate to the learning material. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of VAK learning model can increase the effectiveness of students’ learning
