PERBAIKAN PEMBELAJARAN MATA KULIAH LISTRIK DAN MAGNET MELALUI PEMBERIAN TUGAS PRESENTASI APLIKASI ELEKTROSTATIK DALAM TEKNOLOGI

Abstract

This action research is aimed to improve learning outcomes of electricity and magnetism subject through increased activity of students in preparing for and carrying out presentations on technologies that apply the concept of electrostatic. Presentation topic is selected in the application of the concept of electrostatic in the technology products and natural phenomena that is familiar to students. Subjects were 59 students of Physics Education of Faculty of Education Riau University at semester 6 academic year 2008/2009. This research uses Kemmis Model with three cycles. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that the quality of the presentation slides are prepared by students which increases each cycle until it reaches reaching the high category in cycle-3. Activity of presentation also increased of each cycle despite only reaching into the category of middle on a cycle-3. Student learning outcomes are categorized as high. When compared with the learning outcomes of the previous year, the result of this learning strategy has increased. Meanwhile, students' motivation has increased between before and after learning.
