PENERAPAN METODE PEMECAHAN MASALAH UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KREATIVITAS DAN BERPIKIR KRITIS SISWA DALAM PEMBELAJARAN IPA TENTANG GAYA GRAVITASI BUMI DI KELAS V SDN 9 LABUAN

Abstract

Facts that have occurred in the learning process so far that are responsible in class V SDN 9 Labuan still
have not provided an opportunity for students to develop creativity and critical thinking abilities of students,
especially in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) about the subject of "Earth's Gravitational Force". It was
found that almost all students did not dare to express their questions or opinions during the learning
process. With the results of teaching experience at SDN Labuan 9 as stated above, especially the motivation
and learning achievement of students is too low, so what is expected so far cannot be carried out optimally.
Efforts made by the author to overcome this phenomenon, namely choosing "Problem Solving Method" in
the study of Natural Sciences (IPA) with the subject "Earth Gravitational Force", where the class is
processed into small groups, and each small group asked to discuss the topic taught with the help of LKS
(Student Worksheet) after observing the results of an experiment / demonstration conducted by each small
group
