CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background
Science education is one of essential major that is studied by students
in school. Thus, the research about science learning in school becomes
requisite in order to improve the development of science education. There is
common situation in instructional process that the teacher stands in front of
the class, lecturing and illustrating with the help of the black board and chalk.
It generally happened in all major that be learned by students, included
science. Those Traditional methods of teaching and learning cannot ensure
the participation of every student. Students might be not interested to learn in
the class.
This problem might be solved by using teaching or learning aids aids.
From previous research, it was proven that the teaching aids can improve the
reading, writing and speaking skills of the students (Singh, 2011). In this
research, the development of teaching aids as learning media is investigated
in form of poster. But, this poster is kind of an innovation of the teaching and
learning media regarding the design of the poster itself. This poster is called
as flap poster. Flap poster is one type of the modification of common poster
so that flap poster can resemble the common poster. Posters are known as an
excellent medium for developing communication skills particularly where
short and concise communication is needed (Zevenbergen, 1999).
The implementation of flap poster project enables students to get the
opportunity to express their reactions and ideas through poster presentation.
Poster presentation would appear to have potential as a learning strategy and
as a method of assessment (Bracher, 1998). EL-Sakran and Prescott (2013)
also stated that Poster presentations cater for different learning styles and
allow for personality preferences, students’ creativity in poster design.
As teachers, it is important that students are allowed to express their
creativity. The term creativity varies in several ways. According to Barron
and Harrington (1981), there are two categories of definition of a criterion of
2
recognized achievement in which there are novel products to which one can
point as evidence, such as inventions, theories, buildings, published writings,
paintings and sculptures and films; laws; institutions; medical and surgical
treatments, and so on; 2) creativity as an ability manifested by performance in
critical trials, such as tests, contests, etc, in which one individual can be
compared with another on a precisely defined scale. From the above
categories of creativity, flap poster project can be included in both of those
categories which might affect on students’ creativity. Flap poster as students’
project is called as novel product because flap poster is real form of creativity
product that can be assessed to measure the creativity. Besides that, flap
poster also is included into critical trial. Regarding the process of creating
flap poster and flap poster presentation, it shows students’ involvement and
performance. That is why flap poster project enable students to improve their
creativity.
Student’s understanding is an important element of an instructional
outcome. Student’s understanding also can be represented as students’
cognitive skill. Kinkin and Hench (2012) stated that the poster presentation
allows students the opportunity to develop and improve their cognitive skills
as they progress through Bloom’s Scale of Taxonomy. In Bloom’s taxonomy,
the structure of cognitive skills build from simple to complex includes the
categories of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and
evaluation. They also stated that through poster project, students develop the
skills required to move up that hierarchy. Thus, the urgent of understanding
improvement is requisitely in line with the implementation of flap poster as
the instructional strategy of empowering learners to pursue content
knowledge on their own and demonstrate their new understandings through a
variety of presentation modes.
The flap poster might be used in every topic of science. One of the
topics is human respiratory system which is very important to be learnt by
middle school students. Human respiratory system is included in complex
system of human body. According to Liu, Marathe, and Hmleo-Silver (2005)
3
stated that several features of complex systems make them hard to learn
about, such as nonlinear and relational causality as well as invisible and
dynamic mechanisms. That’s why the flap poster is used as teaching aids to
make the students easier in learning human respiratory system. Since the
respiratory organs consist of the bigger to the smaller and structured from the
outside to the inside part, the flap poster is enable to applied to enhance
student’s understanding.
Considering the explanations above, the researcher aimed to a
research related to students’ creativity and understanding. This research is focused on the implementation of flap poster project on human respiratory
concept based on Curriculum 2013 and Cambridge Curriculum. This research
analyzed two variables that are students’ creativity and students’
understanding. Developing from those variables, as the complement of this
research, researcher also investigated students’ impression toward
implementation of flap poster project.
B. Research Problem
The research problem of this study is “How is The Effect of Flap
Poster Towards Students’ Creativity and Understanding in Learning Human
Respiratory System?”
C. Research Question
Elaborating the research problem, the research attempts to explore the
following questions:
a. How is the effect of creating flap poster towards students’ creativity in
learning human respiratory system?
b. How is the effect of creating flap poster towards students’ understanding
in learning human respiratory system?
c. How is students’ impression after learn the concept of human respiratory
4
D. Limitation of Problem
In order to make the research become more focused, the problem is
limited as follow:
a. Flap Poster is a poster which contain delightful scene which is filled with
picture flaps to lift to reveal words underneath, while word flaps can be
lifted to see pictures.
b. Student’s creativity that is measured in this research involves four P’s
definitions of creativity, those are person, process, press, and products
(Rhodes, 1961) and three creativity dimensions, i.e novelty, resolution,
and elaboration and synthesis (Miunandar, 2009).
c. Students’ understanding that is measured in this research involves level
cognitive of remembering (C1), understanding (C2), applying (C3),
analyzing (C4), evaluating (C5), and creating (C6) based on Bloom
Taxonomy which is stated by Krathwohl (2002).
d. In this research, the concept is human respiratory system that limited by
core competence no. 3 and basic competence no. 3.7 that are attached in
Curriculum 2013.
E. Research Objective
According to problem that formulated in the research problem, the
research is intended to:
a. To investigate the effect of flap poster towards students’ creativity in
learning human respiratory system.
b. To investigate the effect of flap poster towards students’ understanding in
learning human respiratory system.
c. To Identify students’ impression after learn the concept of human
5
F. Research Benefit
The results of this study are expected to provide the following
benefits:
a. For teachers, this study will enable the teachers to increase their ability in
implementing teaching aids, know the effect of flap poster on student’s
creativity and understanding.
b. For students, this study enables them to improve the use of flap poster in
the instructional process towards their creativity and understanding by
creating and presenting it.
c. For another researcher, the result of this research can be used as a
