The third domain in active learning in sequence are to be questioned know what? Cognitive, to know how? Skills, and know why? Attitude that can be described as follows. Figure 1. Active and creative learning On active learning is certainly going to encourage students to get involved during the learning process. Constraints to be considered is students not to be bored. This boredom will appear when the learning having unchanged tone. Therefore, a teacher should use varied learning resources. Active, creative, effective, and fun learning are more respect the initial knowledge of learners. Students prior knowledge or prior knowledge or previous experience helps them to construct knowledge that will be learned. That in the constructivist perspective of learners based on interactions with the environment have built their prior knowledge. Therefore learning should associate knowledge brought by students with the new knowledge that they will learned. Constructivism theory view that science should be built by the students in their own mind Nur, 2000. Lesson plan is a face-to-face learning activity plan for one or more meetings. Lesson plan is developed from the syllabus to guide the learning activities of students in an effort to achieve basic competency. Based on above the formulation of this research is how the competence of science teachers to design active learning?

2. Research Methods

This is a descriptive qualitative research that aims to describe the teachers competence, in compiling lesson plan based on active learning. This research was conducted at the Graduate Program, State University of Gorontalo. The data in this study is the competence of the science teachers in preparing the lesson plan based on active learning. Source of data in this study is lesson plan which are arranged by the 30 science Mathematics, Physics, and Biology teachers as students of Graduate Program at State University of Gorontalo . Instruments used in the research is a form containing the list of models, methods, approaches, media, and learning resources, as well as learning steps that include preparation step, main step, and closing step. Data obtained from this study were processed using descriptive Active Learning Attitude Know why Cognitive Know what Skill Know how Proceedings of MatricesFor IITTEP – ICoMaNSEd 2015 ISBN: 978-602-74204-0-3 Physics Education Page 280 analysis. Descriptive analysis is used to determine the percentage of science teachers competence in preparing the lesson plan based on active learning.

3. Results and Discussion

In accordance with data obtained that teachers competence to design active learning are lower. This can be caused by the less understanding of active learning and more of the teachers commonly copy and paste the lesson plan from others. Table 1 shows that on preparation step of the lesson plan, teachers competence to design active learning reached 36.67, and on the main step reached 53.33, and on the closing step reached 63.33. In detail, can be described in Table 1. Table 1.

Aperception should be oriented to the natural phenomen and what would be teach that closed to the students everyday life and then something could students suprise and amaze. So in the students mind that “why it could be occured”. And they always wait the anwers and explanations about that. That is the starting point of students to learn. Proceedings of MatricesFor IITTEP – ICoMaNSEd 2015 ISBN: 978-602-74204-0-3 Physics Education Page 281 Main step is the learning phase in which teachers with students actively involved in learning activities. This step should based on scientific approach scientific, which consists of observing , questioning , associating , experimenting , networking . In this step about 43.33 of the lesson plans were represented active learning. Most of the lesson plans were commonly used lecture method to transfer all of the knowledges to the students although they stated before they using other methods which they claimed active learning. And the active learning was appeared in evaluation only and not in learning process. Closing step in learning is the final part of the learning process consisting of five activities, namely 1 concluded, 2 conduct reflection, 3 provide feedback on the process and learning outcomes, 4 provide follow-up in the form of duties, both individual and group assignments; and 5 inform the learning activities planned for the next meeting. In this step, about 63.33 of the lesson plans were represented active learning.
