Model-Based Learning Incorporating with Gamification to Enhance 10th Grade Students’ Competency to Explain Phenomena Scientifically on Momentum and Collisions

Abstract

          The purposes of this action research were to examine the learning management approach and the learning management results of using model-based learning incorporating with gamification approach to enhance students’ explaining phenomena scientifically competency on momentum and collisions. The target group of this research were 11 students who studied in 10th grade. They were selected by using purposive sampling. The research instruments were lesson plans which has a reasonable 4.68, the reflection journals in teaching, the activity work sheets which has a reasonable 4.46 and the developed explaining phenomena scientifically competency test which has IOC between 0.67-1.00. In the research process, the cycle of PAOR include 4 steps; plan, act, observe and reflect. The data were analyzed by using content analysis technique and some basic statistics such as mean, and percentage were also used.
          The results show that; the way of using model-based learning incorporating with gamification approach. Teachers should use questions that encourage rational explanations. The situation in model-based learning should be a close-knit affair. In order to help students understand easily. The results of the development of explaining phenomena scientifically competency, it was found that, overall, students had higher levels of explaining phenomena scientifically competency both during and after learning management. Most of them have average scores on the using of scientific knowledge to create the most reasonable explanations and average scores for predicting scientific changes and providing the least reasonable results. In addition, it was found that during learning management, students developed HOTs and scientific process skills.
