Abstract
The purposes of this research were to study: 1) the phenomenon-based learning to develop Scientific Explanation competency about the Earth and changes; and 2) the results of developing competencies in explaining phenomena scientifically. It was action research. The sample group consisted of 13 students of grade 8th, academic year 2022, selected through the purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of: 1) lesson plans, 2) reflections on learning management, 3) a competency test for explaining scientific phenomena, and 4) a Phenomenon-based learning worksheet. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis and verify the accuracy of qualitative data analysis using triangulation using the same data sources (Resource Triangulation). Quantitative data was analyzed by calculating percentages.
The results of the research found that 1) there were four steps of phenomenon-based learning to develop students’ scientifically competency in explaining phenomena of the grade 8th students about earth and changes consisting of Step 1: Collaborative observation of the phenomena; Step 2: Formulation question and defining problems related to phenomena of common interest; Step 3: Using various learning processes through practice; and Step 4: Reflecting on the results. From doing and evaluating according to actual conditions. 2) the 8th grade students who received phenomenon-based learning about earth and changes had higher ability to explain phenomena in science after studying than before and there has been an improvement in the ability to explain phenomena scientifically.
