EFFECTIVENESS OF PHENOMENON BASED LEARNING (PHENOBL) MODEL APPLICATION FOR IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING RESULTS IN OPTICAL MATERIALS

Abstract

The learning process of physics at school, the topics is sometime less relatedto the

phenomenon.This condition causes low improvement of students' cognitive learning result. In this
case, it was a necessary to apply a learning model to improve student learning result by applying
phenomenon based learning model (PhenoBL). Quasi experiment in the form of nonequivalent control
group design as the model of the research. The instrument to collect data used test of student
cognitive at pretest and posttest, respectively. The Data was analyzed by descriptive and
inferential analysis. The results of descriptive analysis show the average absorption rate of
experiment class is 71.05% and control class is 63.33% which both classes are in a good category.
In the paired sample t-test results stated an increasing of students cognitive learning outcomes
from pretest to posttest. This can also be seen from the inferential analysis in that means there
was a significant differences between experimental class and kontrol class. Thus, it can be
concluded that the use of PhenoBL model can improve student learning outcomes of class XI MIPA SMA
