The implementation of PODE worksheet to improve students’ scientific attitude, analysis ability and self-regulation

Students’ scientific attitude is very important to support the achievement of natural science learning in the 2013 curriculum in an effort to shape the character of students through attitudes formation on students when carrying out the learning process through experimentation, discussion, group work and the overall learning process. The ability to analyze and self-regulation is part of critical thinking skills that must be built on each student so that it becomes a directed character in everyday life to solve all kinds of problems. This research aims to describe the implementation of PODE (Predict, Observe, Discuss and Explain) worksheet in natural science learning to improve students’ scientific attitudes, students’ analysis ability and students’ self-regulation. The research was conducted in class VII.3 with 32 students of SMPN 4 Nganjuk, East Java. Type of research is Classroom Action Research. The method used is a pre-experimental design type One Shot Case Study, meaning that there is a group given treatment then the results are observed. The results of this research show the following: 1) Students’ scientific attitude before using PODE worksheet (pre cycle) is 2.92 (sufficient category) and after using PODE worksheet (cycle I) is 3.03 (good category), 2) Ability to analyze students before using PODE worksheet (pre cycle) is 37.5% (less category) and after using PODE worksheet (cycle I) is 70.31% (sufficient category), 3) Students’ Self-regulation before using PODE worksheet (pre cycle) is 37.5% (less category) and after using PODE worksheet (Cycle I) is 71.87% (sufficient category). Thus it can be concluded that the implementation of PODE worksheet can improve scientific attitudes, analysis ability and self-regulation of students.Students’ scientific attitude is very important to support the achievement of natural science learning in the 2013 curriculum in an effort to shape the character of students through attitudes formation on students when carrying out the learning process through experimentation, discussion, group work and the overall learning process.
