PEMBELAJARAN 6E LEARNING BY DESIGN PADA KONSEP ALGAE UNTUK MEMBEKALI KETERAMPILAN RISET MAHASISWA

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kesulitan mahasiswa dalam menulis karya ilmiah sehingga mengurangi kualitas penelitian mahasiswa, kurangnya kemampuan membuat kunci dikotomik, dan mengklasifikasi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif dalam mengembangkan Program Praktikum Botani Cryptogamae berbasis 6E learning by design (engage, explore, explain, engineer, enrich, evaluate) yang dapat membekali research skills. Penelitian ini melibatkan 38 mahasiswa biologi semester II. Penelitian dilakukan dari bulan Februari hingga April 2019. Data dikumpulkan melalui beberapa instrumen berupa: outline proposal, pra proposal, final proposal, kuisioner kemampuan mengkaji artikel, kemampuan mengidentifikasi algae mikroskopis dan makroskopis, berkomunikasi dan Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT). Data dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa implementasi pembelajaran 6E learning by design pada praktikum algae dalam membekali research skills terlaksana secara keseluruhan akan tetapi tahapan Engineer diukur diluar jadwal pembelajaran melalui pengumpulan power point. Hasil test TOLT menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa yang memiliki kategori formal mencapai keterampilan riset yang lebih baik dibandingkan kategori transisi dan konkret teritama dalam untuk kemampuan mengidentifikasi algae dan pembuatan mini riset (produk). Implementasi pembelajaran 6E learning by design pada praktikum algae dalam membekali research skills secara efektif mampu membekali keterampilan riset mahasiswa pada level sedang yang meliputi mengkaji artikel ilmiah, mengidentikasi dan komunikasi algae makroskopis-mikroskopis.------------This research is motivated by the difficulty of students in writing scientific papers thereby reducing the quality of student research, lack of ability to make dichotomic keys, and classifying. This research uses descriptive method in developing a 6E learning by design Cryptogamae Botany Practicum Program (engage, explore, explain, engineer, enrich, evaluate) that can equip research skills. This research involved 38 biology students in the second semester. The study was conducted from February to April 2019. Data was collected through several instruments in the form of: outline of proposals, pre proposals, final proposals, questionnaires, the ability to review articles, the ability to identify microscopic and macroscopic algae, communication and Test of Logical Thinking (TOLT). Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that the implementation of 6E learning by design in algae practicum in equipping research skills was carried out as a whole but the Engineer's stages were measured outside the learning schedule through power point collection. TOLT test results show that students who have a formal category achieve better research skills than the transition and concrete categories especially for the ability to identify algae and produce mini research (products). The implementation of 6E learning by design learning in algae practicum in equipping research skills effectively is able to equip student research skills at a moderate level which includes reviewing scientific articles, identifying and macroscopic-microscopic algae communication.
