THE EFFECT OF GROUP INVESTIGATION MODEL ON CONCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE ONTEMPERATURE AND HEAT MATERIALS IN CLASS XI SMK MUHAMMADIYAH 8 MEDAN

Abstract

The objective of this research is to know the conceptual knowledge of the students using cooperative learning model of group investigation type toward conceptual knowledge on the subject matter of temperature and heat in class XI semester I SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Medan T.P. 2017/2018. The research type is quasi experiment with pretest-postes design. The population of the study were all students of class XI SMK Muhammadiyah 8 Medan.
