The PENGARUH MODEL REQOL (REAL QUEST OUTDOOR LEARNING) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS DAN HASIL BELAJAR FISIKA SISWA SMA

Introduction

The pengaruh model reqol (real quest outdoor learning) terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis dan hasil belajar fisika siswa sma. Mengevaluasi dampak signifikan model ReQOL (Real Quest Outdoor Learning) terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis dan hasil belajar Fisika siswa SMA.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to evaluate the impact of the ReQOL model on high school students' critical thinking and cognitive learning outcomes. This experimental research method uses pre-test and post-test questions to collect quantitative data from the results of students' critical thinking assessments. All of the pupils in the XIPA class at SMA Negeri 1 Natar made up the study's population. Purposive sampling is used to choose the research sample. Class X IPA III served as the control class in this study, and class X IPA VIII served as the experimental class. Test questions and observation logs were used to obtain the data. Utilizing independent sample T tests and effect size. According to the findings, there was a difference between students who used the ReQOL learning model and those who used Direct Instruction when learning about harmonic vibrations. This difference was based on the significance values of the test Smirnov, which were 0.076 for the pre-test and 0.167 for the post-test in the experimental class. The level of significance of the data is revealed to be 0.000 < 0.05 based on test results from an independent sample T test, indicating that the ReQOL model has a significant impact on improving high school students' critical thinking abilities and academic performance. Based on these results it can be concluded that there is an influence of critical thinking skills and student learning outcomes following the ReQOL learning model in class X IPA physics at SMA Negeri 1 Natar.  

Review

This study investigates the impact of the ReQOL (Real Quest Outdoor Learning) model on high school students' critical thinking abilities and physics learning outcomes. Employing an experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments, the research compared students taught using ReQOL against those receiving Direct Instruction. The abstract clearly states the primary finding: the ReQOL model significantly improved both critical thinking skills and academic performance in physics, particularly in the topic of harmonic vibrations, indicating a positive effect of this instructional approach. A notable strength of this study lies in its well-defined objective and the use of an appropriate experimental methodology. The comparison between an experimental group (ReQOL) and a control group (Direct Instruction), coupled with pre-test and post-test data collection, allows for a robust assessment of the intervention's impact. The application of statistical tests, including the independent sample T-test and effect size, provides quantitative evidence to support the conclusions regarding the significant difference observed. The focus on critical thinking and cognitive learning outcomes in physics, a subject often perceived as challenging, makes the research topic highly relevant and valuable for educational practitioners. While the findings are promising, the abstract could benefit from greater detail in certain areas. Crucially, a brief description of what the ReQOL (Real Quest Outdoor Learning) model entails would significantly enhance understanding of the intervention being evaluated. Additionally, while "purposive sampling" is mentioned, clarification on the rationale behind selecting specific classes for control and experimental groups would strengthen the methodology section and address potential biases. Lastly, the presentation of the Smirnov test results, while indicating normality, could be more explicitly linked to how it directly informs the "difference between students" to avoid any ambiguity in interpretation. Despite these minor points, the abstract effectively communicates the study's positive findings on the ReQOL model.
