Development of Physical Practicum Guidelines with Mentorship Approach Using Problem Based Learning Model

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to produce a basic physics practicum product for microscope tools using a problem-based learning model. This research is a development research adapted from the Thiagarajan model. The samples taken consisted of 3 student groups each group of 5 people and 1 large class group of 20 people. In the pilot trials in small groups using a mentoring approach. Data analysis techniques were carried out descriptively which departed from observations of the completeness of guidelines and implementation of guidelines through the stages of the problem-based learning model. The results of the study related to the guideline design based on the completeness of the elements in the practicum guide showed that the percentage of completeness of the guidelines after revision 1 was 37.5%, after review 2 it was 70.83% and in review 3 it was 95.83%. . The results of field tests for students taking basic physics 2 as many as 20 people who were asked for opinions on the use of guidelines and practicum implementation showed that 62.5% of students gave a choice of Strongly Agree category, 36.25% of students gave the option of Agree and there were 1.25 % for the option of Disagreeable category and no student gives a choice of the category "Disagree". Based on this data shows that there are 98.75% of the number of students who respond positively to the use of practicum guides.Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that a basic physics practicum guide product has been produced for the microscope tool using a problem-based learning model with a mentoring approach with excellent and decent qualifications. Through this research, students as prospective teachers have experience developing guidelines to carry out science processes to build interaction and communication and class management.
