CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background

              Developments in science and technology has brought about changes in almost all aspects of human life , the problems can be solved with a variety of efforts to control and the improvement of science and technology . On the other hand , these changes have also brought people into an era of global competition in the absence of boundaries between regions are increasingly stringent . To be able to participate in the global competition , as a nation , we need to continue to develop and improve the quality of human resources . On that basis , improving the quality of human resources is a reality that must be done in a planned , purposeful , and efficient in the development process . If not, our nation will be unable to compete in the era of globalization undergo . To improve the quality of human resources , education plays a very important .

             Educational success of a country is determined by the success of the students studying in the country . The purpose of the learning process and success of student learning in general is influenced by several factors , among others : the students , the material in the curriculum , teachers , methods or approaches , means a learning tool or a means of education , the environment is not human . In order to achieve the goal of education should be cooperation between the components according Arikunto (1999 ) .

            Recognizing the importance of improving the quality of human resources , government along with education experts , the public , and are competent in such matters has been trying to realize the mandate . Manifestation of these efforts include the development through quality education , for example, the development and improvement of curriculum and evaluation system , improvement of educational facilities , development and procurement of teaching materials , training of teachers and other education personnel to improve their professional capabilities . Rasiyo ( 2003 : 5 ) states that teachers of Mathematics and Science in East Java is still often apply less varied learning , so students tend to get bored and declining spirit of learning , thus will result in a child's ability to absorb the knowledge itself is low .

           Based on the mastery of learning outcomes by 2006 curriculum or curriculum unit level education SMA / MA , which is said to be thoroughly studied  65 % , that is less than the³if students acquire learning outcomes  target of the curriculum shows students' learning outcomes is still in the category of less well ( not yet complete ) , if left unchecked it will adversely impact on the discipline being studied . This statement is in accordance with the opinion of Prabowo ( 2000) which states that the lack of student learning outcomes will be bad for the development of science and technology .

           Of exposure to the above should look for a solution that student learning outcomes can be improved , in particular by improving the performance and strategies of teachers in teaching . A teacher should view students as active subjects in searching and processing information , therefore the teacher must be able to provide guidance on how they enhance the ability to control and regulate their own learning activities . Weinstein and Meyer in Arends (1997 : 244 ) , states that "good teaching includes teaching students how to learn , how to remember , how to think and how to MOTIVATE Themselves " . The point of the quote is Weistein and Meyer argue that good teaching includes teaching students how to learn , how to remember , how to think , and how to motivate yourself. The main goal is to teach learning strategies students learn independently . Some of the terms used to describe this type of student is an independent learner , strategic learner , and a self-regulated learner by Nur (2000 : 9 ) .

             To produce students that the need for self- learning approaches are appropriate to convey a subject matter . The learning model is an alternative discussion of appropriate learning because learning model discussion melatihkan students to express their opinions verbally and provide opportunities for students to develop skills berfikirnya pattern . Discussions can foster student engagement and participation by providing opportunities open to students to speak and express their own ideas , because it is done in a cooperative ( group ) , the discussion can combine your opinions and thoughts in determining the troubleshooting steps . According Wahyana ( 1986:16-17 ) mentions that the discussion is applied in learning activities with the following objectives :

1 . Provide an opportunity for students to apply experience , knowledge , concepts and principles that have been owned .

2 . Want to develop students' ability to think critically and creatively , democratic and open attitude .

3 . Developing the motivation to learn more .

4 . Using and developing students' ideas , learning directly evaluate the logic itself and the position of othes .

5 . Utilizing students as a source of learning , so that students are encouraged to explore the information , library and other learning resources in the formulation and problem solving .

             In the discussion of the implementation of the teaching model , also involves other learning models among direct instructional model and cooperative learning . But in this study more emphasis on the process of discussion among students and between teachers and students . This is supported by Arends ( 1997:201 ) which states :

" Discussions are used by the teacher to Achieve at least three important instructional objectives . First , discussion improves student thinking and helps them construct their own understanding of academic content. Second , discussion promotes student involvement and engagement . Third , discussion is used by the teacher to help the student learn important communication skills and thinking processes , "

            The above quote implies that the discussion is used by teachers to achieve at least three important learning goals . First , a discussion improves student thinking and help students construct their own understanding of the content of the subject matter . Second , the discussion encourages students actively involved . Third , the discussion teachers use to help students learn the importance of communication skills and thought process . In addition to enhancing cognitive growth , the discussion can also be used to increase positive social environment in the classroom . Cognitive - social relationships are very clearly shown how social participation affects the development of thinking and cognitive growth .

             One of the concepts in Biology SMA / MA 2006 Grade 1 curriculum semerter II is much related to the daily lives of many students found the study material ecosystem . Therefore , learning about the ecosystem of study materials will be more meaningful , because students can directly observe and discover the concepts of the surrounding environment . Taking into account the characteristics of ecosystems such study materials , teachers are expected to present challenging problems for students to develop communication skills in terms of making a report on the results of his observations . Similarly, teachers are expected to provide ample opportunity for students to express their ideas about a given issue . In many discussions of learning empirically observations carried out in junior and the results showed an increase in student achievement , with the mean researchers would like to implement in Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Surabaya where researchers teach .
             From the above it can be concluded that there is still need pengembangkan complete a learning device . This is in accordance with the opinion of Nur ( 1999:1 ) who says that the device provides ease of learning and to assist teachers in preparing and carrying out teaching and learning activities in the classroom . Based on the results of tests conducted Wijiastuti ( 2000:6 ) learning software development discussions is effective enough to achieve mastery of learning objectives ( TP ) TP : achieving completeness products by 76 % and achieving completeness TP process at 100 % . Learning device that will be developed in this research is a learning device MAN Biology class I with study materials Ecosystem which is basically a transfer of technology that has been developed by education publisher Glencoe Mc . Graw - Hill book book Merrill Life Science and other sources . This device consists of : learning implementation plan ( RPP ) , student teaching materials ( MAS ) , activity sheets learners ( LKPD ) , and the assessment sheet . In the discussion of learning there are several techniques which are strategy - pair - share thinking ( Think Pair Share / SMT ) ) , Group Active ( Buzz Group ) , and Ball Beach ( Beach Ball ) .

             One that is of interest to researchers want to develop a form of learning method in the above discussion , which will be applied in order to study the biology of the ecosystem concept . Researchers using the discussion method of learning that is oriented think -pair share a strategy because it has never been done in the research of teaching and the results of some of the researchers are assumed to be implemented as an effective and efficient way to improve student achievement. So in this study , researchers tried to meet the expectations described above , with the title " Development Biology Learning Tool for SMA / MA with Model Discussion Materials Ecosystem Assessment " produced and implementation of learning can achieve mastery of student learning outcomes in and the optimal level of greater understanding .

B. problem Formulation

             Based on the background described , problems need to be solved in this study can be formulated as follows : " How can student learning outcomes in the ecosystem after the study materials and learning activities with learning software development using learning model Discussion Think Pair Share Strategy ?

c . Students answer responses seriously and honestly about his response to the learning and teaching activities in the students completed a questionnaire responses .
d . Students tried seriously in any learning activities undertaken by teachers and work independently as well as in working honestly achievement test .

G. explanation of Terms

( 1 ) Model Discussions in learning Ecosystem concept is taught as a procedure to discuss the matter with the strategy Ecosystem Thinking , Couple , and Sharing ( TPS ) .

( 2 ) Think - Pair – Share

( a) Think ( Think )

The teacher asks a question or problem that is associated with the lesson , and ask students to use a few minutes to think for themselves in the search for answers or solutions to a problem .

( b ) Couple ( Pair )

The teacher asks the students to pair up with a friend beside him to discuss what they have acquired in thinking . Interaction during the time provided to unify the answer if a question asked or uniting idea if a particular problem is identified . Normally teachers give no more than 4 or 5 minutes for the pair .

( c ) Sharing ( Share )

The teacher asks the pairs to share with the whole class what they are talking about .
