Abstract

Penelitian tindakan kelas ini bertujuan (1) meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa, (2) meningkatkan prestasi belajar siswa dan, (3) mendeskripsikan tanggapan siswa terhadap penerapan model blended learning. Jenis penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas (classroom action research). Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam dua siklus pembelajaran, tiap siklus terdiri dari empat tahap, yaitu 1) perencanaan, 2) pelaksanaan, 3) observasi/evaluasi, dan 4) refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas VIII B SMP N 2 Sawan semester ganjil Tahun Pelajaran 2014/2015 yang berjumlah 27 orang. Data motivasi belajar IPA dikumpulkan dengan angket motivasi belajar, sedangkan data prestasi belajar IPA dikumpulkan dengan tes pilihan ganda. Data tanggapan siswa dikumpulkan dengan angket tanggapan siswa. Seluruh data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa: (1) terjadi peningkatan motivasi belajar IPA (skor rata-rata motivasi belajar IPA siklus I = 104,93 dengan kategori cukup dan skor rata-rata motivasi belajar IPA siklus II = 121,48 dengan kategori tinggi), (2) terdapat peningkatan prestasi belajar fisika (nilai rata-rata prestasi belajar IPA pada siklus I = 76,30 dengan ketuntasan klasikal = 55%, dan nilai rata-rata prestasi belajar IPA siklus II = 85,74 dengan ketuntasan klasikal = 100%), (3) rerata tanggapan siswa terhadap penerapan model pembelajaran blended learning sangat positif dengan skor rata-rata 213,36. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model blended learning dapat meningkatkan motivasi dan prestasi belajar IPA siswa kelas VIII B SMP N 2 Sawan Semester Genap Tahun Pelajaran 2014/2015.
