THE EFFECT OF INDEX CARD MATCH MODEL ON STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOMES AND ACTIVITY IN ECOSYSTEM TOPIC FOR GRADE X SMA NEGERI 8 MEDAN ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/2014

This quasy experiment research aims to know about the effect ofindex card match model on students learning outcomes and activity in ecosystem topic in grade x SMA Negeri 8 Medan academic year 2013/2014 by using two sample groups. Experiment group taught with index card match model and control group with conventional model. The instruments used to obtain the data were observation sheet as non-test instrument and cognitive test in form of multiple choices as test instrument. The result of this research showed that students learning outcome and activity taught index card match model is increased compare to the student whos taught by conventional model. This proved by X = 83.9 and SD = 8.74 on learning outcome for Index card match Class, X = 78.32 and SD = 12.20for conventional Class. The hypothetical test also proved that learning outcome 2.161 > 1.669; otherwise for Learning activity has X = 69.33 and SD = 7.217 for index card match class, and X = 50.13 and SD = 6.12 for conventional Class. The hypothetical test for learning activity 13.675> 1.6696. Thus, Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. It means that there is effectofindex card match model on students learning outcomes and activity in ecosystem topic for grade x SMA Negeri 8 Medan Academic Year 2013/2014
