THE IDENTIFICATION OF LEARNING INTEREST IN CHEMISTRY OF SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT AT SMA N 2 SINGARAJA

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan 1) mengidentifikasi minat belajar siswa kelas X and XI SMA Negeri 2 Singaraja terhadap pelajaran kimia dan 2) mendeskripsikani faktor-faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi minat belajar siswa kelas X dan XI terhadap pelajaran kimia. Penelitian ini termasuk penelitian deskriptif. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 50 siswa kelas X dan 50 siswa kelas XI yang dipilih dengan menggunakan teknik random sampling. Tehnik pengumpulan data menggunakan inventori dan wawancara. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum minat belajar siswa kelas X and XI SMA N 2 Singaraja secara berurutan tergolong tinggi and cukup. Pada aspek maintain-value ketertarikan siswa kelas X dan XI terhadap pelajaran kimia tergolong sangat tinggi yang dominan dipengaruhi oleh faktor internal yakni tingginya kesadaran siswa akan pentingnya peranan ilmu kimia dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Pada aspek maintain-feeling ketertarikan siswa kelas X dan XI terhadap pelajaran kimia secara berurutan tergolong tinggi dan cukup. Hal ini dominan dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal yakni bahan pelajaran dan faktor internal yakni motivasi dan kemampuan matematis siswa. Pada aspek triggered-SI ketertarikan siswa terhadap pelajaran kimia tergolong rendah. Hal ini dominan dipengaruhi oleh faktor eksternal yakni guru dan bahan pelajaran yang meliputi aspek mikroskopis dan simbolik.

The aims of this research were 1) to identify the learning interest in chemistry of student for grade X and XI and 2) to describe the dominant factors which influence the learning interest in chemistry of students at grade X and XI. This research was descriptive research. The sample was consisting of 50 students at grade X and 50 students at grade XI who were chosen by using random sampling method. The data of this research was collected by using inventory and interview with the data analysis used descriptive analysis. The result of this research showed that generally the learning interest in chemistry of students at grade X and XI respectively were high and enough. On maintain-value aspect, the learning interest in chemistry of students at grade X and XI were very high because was dominant caused by internal factor namely the awareness of the important of chemistry in daily life. In maintain-feeling, the learning interest in chemistry of students at grade X and XI respectively were high and enough because in dominant caused of both external dan internal factors. The external factor namely the content of subject while internal factor namely motivation and mathematical abilty. On triggered-SI aspect, the learning interest in chemistry of student at grade X and XI were low because in dominant came from external factor namely teacher and the content of subject.
