The Effect of Using POE-Based Worksheet on Student’s Learning Outcomes in Material of Impulses and Momentum

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of using POE-based worksheets on student’s learning outcomes of physics in material of impulses and momentum at SMAN 5 Bandar Lampung. The research population was all students of class X MIA. The design of this study uses True Experimental Design with a Pretest Posttest Control Group Design type. The research sample in this study was class X MIA 1 and X MIA 2 with relatively similar initial abilities so that the Simple Purposive Sampling technique was used. The independent sample t-test results showed a significance value of 0,000 for cognitive, psychomotor learning outcomes through questions and through practical performance so that the use of POE-based worksheets on impulse and momentum material had a significant effect on student learning outcomes. The magnitude of the effect obtained from the results of the effect size test (Cohen d) is 2,18 for the cognitive domain; 1,34 and 1,21 for the psychomotor domain (high category). This means that the use of POE-based woeksheets in this study has a large effect on student learning outcomes.
