PENGEMBANGAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN TEMATIK BERBASIS DISCOVERY LEARNING UNTUK MEMPERKENALKAN KONSEP SAINS PADA ANAK TK B

Abstrak

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1) menjelaskan pelaksanaan model pembelajaran tematik yang selama ini digunakan untuk memperkenalkan konsep sains pada anak TK B; (2) memperoleh desain pengembangan model pembelajaran tematik berbasis discovery learning untuk memperkenalkan konsep sains pada anak TK B; (3) membuktikan keefektifan model pembelajaran tematik berbasis discovery learning untuk memperkenalkan konsep sains pada anak TK B. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian pengembangan Research and Development (R&D) menurut Borg & Gall dengan desain pretest-posttest control group design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan: (1) model pembelajaran tematik yang selama ini digunakan masih berpusat pada guru, anak jarang diajak melakukan percobaan karena karena terkendala ide, kreativitas guru dan minimnya ketersediaan media; (2) desain model pembelajaran tematik berbasis discovery learning untuk memperkenalkan konsep sains mengambil tema “Air, Udara, Api” terdiri dari tujuan, sintaks, evaluasi dan penilaian dalam pembelajaran. Anak dilibatkan langsung dalam percobaan sehingga dapat menggabungkan pengetahuan baru dengan pengetahuan yang telah dimiliki; (3) keefektifan model pembelajaran tematik berbasis discovery learning untuk memperkenalkan konsep sains dilihat dari hasil belajar anak mencapai rata-rata skor 81,90 (83%), aktivitas belajar anak rata-rata skor 3,87 “sangat aktif”, respon guru terhadap model rata-rata skor 3,8 “sangat baik”.  This research aims to: (1) describes the implementation of thematic learning model which has been used to introduce concept science in kindergartner B; (2) obtaining design development of thematic learning model based discovery learning to introduce concept science in kindergartner B; (3) proving effectiveness of thematic learning model based discovery learning to introduce concept science in kindergartner B. This research is development of Research and Development (R & D) by Borg & Gall with design pretest - posttest control group design. The results showed: (1) thematic learning model that has been used still teacher centered, child is rarely attempted because due constrained ideas, creativity of teachers and lack availability of media; (2) thematic learning model design based discovery learning to introduce concept science took the theme " Water, Air, Fire " consists of purpose, syntax, evaluation and assessment. Children directly involved in the experiment so as to incorporate new knowledge with knowledge that has been held; (3) effectiveness of thematic learning model based discovery learning to introduce concept science seen from child's learning outcomes achieved average score 81.90 (83 %), children's learning activities average score 3.87 "very active", response teachers to the model average score 3.8 "very good ".This research aims to: (1) describes the implementation of thematic learning model which has been used to introduce concept science in kindergartner B; (2) obtaining design development of thematic learning model based discovery learning to introduce concept science in kindergartner B; (3) proving effectiveness of thematic learning model based discovery learning to introduce concept science in kindergartner B.
