The Effect of Cooperative Learning Model Based on Aceh Culture to Improve the Generic Science Skills of Student

This study aims to improve the generic skills of science and honesty of students through an Aceh culture based cooperative learning model with the Culturally Responsive Teaching approach. This research was conducted at the MAS Laboratorium of UINSU. This type of research is a quasi-experimental exercise using two-group pretest-post-test design. The sample in his research was class X MIA 1 as the experimental class and class X MIA 2 as the control
class. The instrument used was a generic science skill test instrument and student honesty questionnaire. The data in this study were analyzed using the t-test and gain test. The results showed that the generic science skills taught by the Aceh culture-based cooperative learning model were betterthan those taught by the conventional model and there was an increase in student n-gain honesty with the Aceh culture based cooperative learning model. The results of the study show that physics learning through the Culturally Responsive Teaching approach integrated ethnophysics can develop
generic science skills including; direct observation, logical inference, awareness of scale and indirect observation and student honesty.
