KAJIAN PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK BUKU SISWA GEOGRAFI SMA BERDASARKAN KURIKULUM 2013

Abstract

Scientific approach-based learning which is currently on going can be implemented if it is supported by the learning components arranged based on Curriculum 2013, one of them is learning material such as students’ book. Most of the students’ books which are distributed and used by most of the senior high school students are not based on the scientific approach, so a further study is needed to be conducted. The study on this book was conducted to analyze whether the materials of the book have represented the steps of the scientific approach or not. This research belongs to the content analysis. This research was conducted by analyzing the materials using descriptive analysis method based on the criteria of scientific learning’s assessment in Curriculum 2013. According to the research’s result and discussion, it can be concluded that the scientific approach has not been delivered ideally; there are some principles which have not been given that makes geography learning will not go well. Based the finding mentioned, it is suggested to add the scientific steps which are suitable in discussing the materials.

Pembelajaran berbasis pendekatan saintifik yang saat ini sedang berlangsung dapat dilaksanakan jika didukung oleh komponen pembelajaran yang disusun sesuai dengan kurikulum 2013, salah satunya bahan ajar berupa buku siswa. Buku siswa yang banyak beredar dan digunakan oleh banyak SMA masih belum berbasis pendekatan saintifik sehingga perlu dilakukan telaah lebih lanjut.  Telaah buku ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa apakah materi sudah disajikan dengan mencerminkan langkah-langkah dalam pendekatan saintifik. Penelitian ini termasuk dalam analisis isi (content analysis). Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menganalisis materi secara deskriptif berdasarkan kriteria penilaian pembelajaran saintifik Kurikulum 2013. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dan pembahasan dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan saintifik belum dituangkan secara ideal, ada beberapa prinsip yang belum disampaikan sehingga mengakibatkan pembelajaran geografi tidak akan berjalan dengan lancar. Berdasarkan temuan tersebut disarankan untuk menambahkan langkah saintifik yang sesuai dalam membahas materi.
