THE STUDY OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’S SCIENTIFIC ATTITUDES ON LEARNING HEAT AND TEMPERATURE WITH COOPERATIVE INQUIRY LABS MODEL
Abstract: Scientific attitude
is an approach to investigations that benefits from certain traits namely; curiosity
or inquisitiveness, objectivity, open-mindedness, perseverance, humility,
ability to accept failure, and skepticism. Scientific attitude is one of
benchmarks for the success of science learning process especially the level of
understanding of the concept of physics. This study aims to analyse the
students’scientific attitude on learning heat and temperature with Cooperative
Inquiry Labs (CIL) model at SMAN 6 Banda Aceh. This is a quasi experimental
research with the class subject of X-MIA1 as a control class and X-MIA2 as an
experimental class. Data collection technique used was by giving aquestionnaire
containing seven kinds of scientific attitude indicators to each student. The
questionnairein this study used a Likert scale with four categories of
responses. Data tabulation was done by testingthe average difference of two
independent samples, indicated that tcount (10.94) > ttable (2.01) at thesignificant
level of 5%, which means that there are significant differences in outcomes
between the experimental and control classes. The results of questionnaire
analysis showed that in the control class, there were four scientific attitude
indicators which had high category, and the three other indicators were in
medium category, whereas in the experimental class, there were five indicators
with high category and two indicators with medium category. Based on the data
of the analysis result of t test showed the scientific attitude of the students
in both classes were tcount = 2.09 which was bigger thanttable = 2.01, and
because of the significance of <0.05, it can be said that there was a
significantdifference after the learning process with CIL model.
