Teacher and student narrative

Understanding the Scientific Approach

               What exactly is the scientific Approach? The scientific approach is a scientific framework of learning applied to the Curriculum 2013. This learning process can be equated with a scientific process because in it there are stages, especially in the core activities. Scientific approach can also be called as a form of religious and social attitude development, knowledge, and skills of learners in applying the subject matter. In this approach the learner is no longer used as the object of learning, but made the subject of learning, the teacher just as a facilitator and motivator only. The teacher does not need to explain everything about what is in the material.

Learning Steps with a Scientific Approach

               In the sense of a scientific approach there are several steps, according to the Government 

Regulation of education and culture (permendikbud) No. 81 A of 2013 attachment IV, the learning 

process consists of five main learning activities namely: Observing, Asking, Collecting Information

 / Experiments, Associating / Processing Information, And, Communicating.

Observe

               In the process of observing learners are expected to be able to see what the teacher presents,

 such as video or film related material, the teacher can also display images that are also related to the 

material. In addition, observations can also be done at the time of the teacher to simulate.

Ask

               After learners observe, then learners formulate questions on what has been displayed in the 

teacher, if there are already questions on learners expected with the question that will make learners 

more attention to the material and able to find their own answers to the question.

Gathering Information / Experiments

               At this stage, after learners have questions gained through the observation of the media that

 has been displayed teacher, then the next task of the students is to collect information, information to

 answer questions that have been made, the information can be obtained from various learning sources 

such as books, setudi Library, internet. This is where learners in demand to actively work together in

 groups.

Associate / Process Information

               After obtaining sufficient information and data, learners in their group share the task to

 associate or process the information already in the can with which aims to answer the questions that 

have been formulated. And display it in group reports.

Communicate

               In this process learners are expected to be able to communicate with other groups about what

 information is already in though in the group. This is where the essence of the scientific that learners

 are expected to exchange information with other groups. So that will create condition of active 

learners, and make learners become subject learn.

The following is an example of teacher dialogue with students using a scientific approach :

Teacher        : good morning student

Student        : good morning teacher

Teacher       : before studying let us pray first.

Prayer takes place

Teacher       : today we will learn about halogen elements.

Teacher       : Earlier last week we had already learned about this material. That is about alkaline             

                      and alkaline earth   elements.Have you studied elements of halogen class? , Who            

                      knows what is a halogen class?

Student1     : I pack. The halogen element is a group of chemical elements that belong to the      

                      VIIA group in the periodic table system.

Teacher       : That's right, so what did your friend say. That halogen is a chemical element that 

                      belongs to VIIA group in the periodic table system. This group consists of: fluorine

                      (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatin (At), and ununseptium (Uus)        

                      unfinished. Any question?

Student 2    : yes, I am. Are the forms of these elements the same?

Teacher       : good question, so the form of halogen group elements is different, for example at 

                      chlorine room temperature in the form of gas and bromine in the form of liquid.

                      There are more?

Student 3    : yes,I am sir, what are the properties of the halogen group elements?

Teacher       : well, so the properties of the halogen group elements are twofold. Namely the       

                      nature of physics and chemical properties. Physical properties are All halogen  elements 

                      present in the form of diatomic molecules, which are gaseous, liquid, and         

                      solid. F₂ is gas and pale yellow, Cl₂ is gas and is yellowish green, B is a liquid and      

                      brownish red and I₂ is solid and purple black. But I₂ can change shape at room 

                      temperature into purple-blue gas.

     While the chemical properties are All elements of halogen groups can form 

     compounds with the withdrawal of an electron from the outside, or covalently And in 

     general the halogen elements have a degree of oxidation -1, however the halogen can .          

     also have oxidation rates of +1, +3, +5 and +7, except flourin.

Teacher       : So in conclusion, halogen is a group of chemical elements belonging to class 7 (VII

                      or VIIA in the old system) in the periodic table. This group consists of: fluorine (F),

                      chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), astatin (At), and ununseptium (Uus)              

                      undiscovered. Halogens signify elements that produce salt when reacting with    metals. 

                      This term is derived from the French scientific term from the 18th century    

                      adapted from Greek. Halogen is also the group with the highest electronegativity, so

                      It is also the most non-metallic group.

The teacher assigns the task to the learners

Teacher       : All right, we finish the meeting today. Wassalammualaikum WR.WB
