PENGARUH PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR IPA DENGAN KOVARIABEL KEMAMPUAN AWAL SISWA KELAS V SD SE-GUGUS VII KUTA SELATAN

ABSTRACTThe purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of scientific approach towards science learning outcomes with covariable of initial ability on fifth-grade students of public elementary schools in Cluster VII South Kuta. The design of the study was Single Factor Independent Group Design with Use of Covariate. The sample in this study was 86 students, determined by using a random sampling technique. Data obtained were processed by using one-way analysis of covariance (ANACOVA). The results show that: 1) there is a difference in science learning outcomes between students who follow learning using a scientific approach and those who follow the conventional learning model. Science learning outcomes of students who follow learning using scientific approach is higher than science learning outcomes of those who follow the conventional learning model; 2) after controlling the covariable of initial ability, there is a difference in science learning outcomes between students who follow learning using scientific approach and those who follow the conventional learning model; (3) there is a contribution of initial ability to science learning outcomes, in which the contribution percentage of initial ability of students who follow learning using scientific approach is 67.2%, whereas contribution percentage of initial ability of students who follow the conventional learning model is 46.7%
