TRAINING THE PROBLEM SOLVING SKILL BY IMPLEMENTATION GUIDED DISCOVERY LEARNING MODEL AT THE REACTION RATE

Abstract

Guided discovery learning is a learning model that encourages students to discover concepts and principles for themselves that emphasize a student-centered learning experience. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of guided discovery learning model to training problem solving skills on reaction rate material conducted in class XI Mipa 4 SMAN 1 Manyar Gresik. The research method which is used is one group pretest posttest design. Learning tools used include syllabus, lesson plan, and worksheet. Based on the results of the research indicates that: 1) Guided discovery learning model is implemented with percentage of > 61%. 2) Student problem solving skills after implementation the guided discovery learning model successfully trained from N-gain obtained increased in each indicator ie problem representation, planning, implementation and monitoring respectively of 0.92; 0.95; 0.96; 0.86. 3.) Positive responses of students during the learning process on all questions earn a percentage of  ≥ 90% are in very strong category. This suggests that the guided discovery learning model is effective for training problem solving skills on reaction rate material.
