While Gunarso 2004: 52 states that discipline is on time, responsible, and distinct. The discipline person will manage the time for doing everything, making
the schedule, and selecting the activity based on priority. Learning discipline is an attitude that shows obedience to learn according to
the schedule and does something in a right way.
8. Integrated Learning
It is necessary to blend the concepts, skill, and thematic unit, in chemistry learning. In order to blend them, an expert named Fogarty 1991: 44 states that
there are ten models to plan integrated learning. Not all of integrated learning models can be compatible to chemistry learning. According to National Ministry
of Education, there are three models that are compatible for Natural Science: a.
Integrated Learning Model This model uses the approach for one subject to another subject. This
model is developed by blending the subjects. It is by determining the curricular priority and determining skill, concept, attitudes that is overlapped in some
subjects. First, the teacher selects the concepts, skills, and attitudes that are learnt in one semester some subjects. Then the teacher chooses the concept, skill, and
attitude that is overlapped in various subjects. 1
The strengths of integrated learning model: a
It makes the students know the connections of all subjects well. b
It makes the good understanding of the subjects and appreciates more to knowledge and skill.
c It makes motivation.
24
2 The weakness of integrated learning model:
a It is very difficult to apply this learning model fully.
b This model needs very skilled, confident, and smart teacher.
c This model needs the team. It is sometimes too difficult to manage
the team. b.
Webbed Learning Model This learning model is integrated learning model that uses thematic
approach. This approach is started by determining the theme, developing to be subtheme by seeing the relation of the subject and the theme. From that subtheme,
we hope that the students are able to study well. 1
The strength of webbed learning model: a
There will be motivational factor when the students choose the theme based on their interests.
b It can be done easily by inexperienced teacher.
c It is easy to develop the theme to all subjects.
2 The weakness of webbed learning model:
a The difficulty is selecting the theme.
b There is a tendency to formulate the easy theme.
c In teaching and learning, the teacher is more focus in the activity
than in concept development. c.
Connected Learning Model Connected learning model is the model for connecting one concept to
another concept, one topic to another topic, one skill to another skill, and one task
25
to another task. The ideas done in one semester could be learnt in the next semester in a subject.
1 The strengths of connected learning model:
a By connecting one idea to another idea, the students know the
aspects in a subject. b
The concepts are developed continuously, there will be
internalization. c
The students are able to use the ideas to solve the problem. 2
The weakness of connected learning model: a
The subjects look separated. b
The teacher is not motivated to work in cooperation. c
The efforts to develop this model in one subject making focus and concentrated can disturb the development of another subject.
A teacher should integrate one material to another material of teaching and learning to make it related each other. In this study, local wisdom was integrated
in chemistry learning.
B. THE RELEVANT RESEARCH
Suparwoto stated in his journal “Local Wisdom Aspects to Improve Physics Learning Quality” states that the success of local wisdom implementation is
indicated by the students’ appreciation toward sciences, technology, and art. The high appreciation is indicated by the students’ happiness in learning. The students
also think that the learning is meaningful. Local wisdom is able to contribute in national, even international education.

Khafid and Soeroso stated in their research states that learning discipline affects the Economics students’ achievements grade VIII of State Junior High Shool
1 Jatinegara , Tegal, it is 8.17. Kharismawati , Agung, and Arini stated in their journal “The Effect of
Local Wisdom based-TTW- Type Cooperative Learning Model to The Students’
Achievement in Natural Science Subject at Grade IV of 1 Pohsanten State Elementary School” states that the students’ achievement was significantly higher
than the students that did not learn by using local wisdom materials. Amirin stated in his journal “Contextual Implementation of Multicultural
Education Approach based on Local Wisdom in Indonesia”, states that multicultural education in Indonesia, more appropriate to call it as an approach. It
is educational approach that likes to make regional moral value, religion, and local wisdom. They are used to support
national education, based on “bhinneka tunggal ika” and tolerance each other.
Fauziah, Abdullah,and Hakim stated in their journal “ Scientific Learning in
Basic of Electro Oriented in Problem- based Learning” that scientific approach-
based lesson plans with problem- based learning models has positive feedbacks from teachers and students. It has a good effect f
or improvement in students’ hard skill and soft skill.
Mungmachon stated in her journal “Knowledge and Local Wisdom: Community Treasure” that a community can survive because of the loyal
character to the tradition wisdom. By sharing knowledge, solving problem
27
together, and integrating new knowledge, the community is able to resolve the problems and have societal impacts.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHOD
A. Research Design
This research was an experimental study with one factor research design, two samples, and a co-variable. One factor was the effect of local wisdom-based
scientific approach. Two samples of the research consisted of one group that was as the treatment class and the other group was as the control class. The co-variable
wa s students’ prior knowledge, which was collected by using documentation data
of the previous chemistry achievement.
B. Time and Research Place
This research was done on January until February 2015. The place for research is at State Senior High School 1 Purworejo, addressed at Tentara Pelajar
Street 55, Purworejo, Central Java.
C. Variable Definition
This research consisted of three variables: 1.
Independent Variable Independent variable in this research was chemistry learning using local
wisdom- based scientific approach. 2.
Dependent Variable Dependent variables in this research were students’ achievement, social
maturity, and learning discipline. Students’ achievement was the result mark of students’ answers on validated problems questions of Oxidation and Reduction
