Implementation of Differentiated Learning in Science Lessons for Students in Junior High Schools
Keywords:
Differentiated learning, Independent curriculum, Learning styles
Abstract
Students in Indonesia have various characters and different backgrounds, which is a challenge for teachers in Indonesia. In the independent curriculum, teachers have the freedom to choose learning tools that suit the needs of students. The differentiated learning approach reflects learning that responds to the differences of each individual. The study was conducted in a Junior High School in Bandung using two classes a control class and an experimental class. This experimental study used observation instruments, post-test only, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive quantitative methods. The results of the study showed that the experimental class had lower average learning outcomes than the control class. Then a normality test was carried out which showed that the data was not normal. Furthermore, the results of the hypothesis test showed that sig (0.565) was greater than alpha (0.005), meaning that the differentiated learning approach did not affect improving student learning outcomes. This is influenced by several factors, namely the number of activities at school, the division of science lesson hours, teaching activities, and the level of difficulty of the questions. However, this study has several advantages including increasing student participation when learning, supporting the implementation of the independent curriculum, and supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4, 10, 8). The things that need to be improved are preparing alternatives to research facilities and infrastructure and planning a more appropriate time allocation
