THE EFFECT OF PREDICT OBSERVE EXPLAIN STRATEGY (POE)
ON STUDENTS ACTIVITY AND LEARNING OUTCOME
IN HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM SUB TOPIC FOR
GRADE XI SCIENCE PROGRAM AT SMA NEGERI
15 MEDAN ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/2014

ABSTRACT

This research aims to find out: (1) the effect of POE Strategy on students’ activity,
(2) the effect of POE Strategy on students’ learning outcome. This research aims
to know the effect of POE Strategy in biology specifically on human respiratory
sub topic in grade XI at SMA Negeri 15 Medan academic year 2013/2014. The
population of this research was all of grade XI science program SMA Negeri 15
Medan. There were 2 classes chosen as the sample by applying cluster random
sampling technique. It was obtained the sample 38 students for experiment class

and 38 students for control class. Experimental class was taught by POE strategy
while control class was taught by conventional strategy. The instruments used to
obatain the data were cognitive test in form of multiple choices as test instrument
and observation sheet as non-test instrument. The research result of hypothesis
test for posttest showed that tcount = 8.76 > ttable = 2.38 at the level significance of
0.01, means that H0 is rejected and the Ha is accepted. It can be concluded there is
a significant difference of student learning outcome between POE strategy and
conventional strategy. Then, t-test of observation results showed that students’
activity in both classes is significantly different.The students in experiement class
were more active than students in control class by the average score of 80.56 and
50.05 respectively. The result of hypothesis test for student activity showed that
tcount = 10.31 > ttable = 2.38. It means that students’ activity in experimental class is
higher than students’ activity in control class. On the whole, learning outcome in
learning human respiratory sub topic that taught by POE strategy is higher than
student learning outcome that taught by conventional strategy at SMA Negeri 15
Medan academic year 2013/2014.
Keyword : learning outcome, students’ activity, predict observe explain(POE)

CHAPTER V
CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
5.1. Conclusion
Based on the result of research, it can be concluded as follow:
1. There is an effect of POE strategy on students’ activity on human
respiratory system sub topic in grade XI science program at SMA N 15
Medan academic year 2013/2014. The percentage of students’ activity in
experimental class that taught with POE strategy is higher than students in
control class that taught with lecturing strategy.
2. There is an effect of POE strategy on students’ learning outcome on
human respiratory system sub topic in grade XI science program at SMA
N 15 Medan academic year 2013/2014. Learning outcome of students in
experimental class that taught with POE strategy showed higher score than
students in control class that taught with lecturing strategy.
5.2. Suggestion
It can be proposed some suggestion as follows:
1. For students, POE strategy can improve the activity and learning outcome
of students caused its implemented in experimental or attractive lesson that
able to interest and stimulate students to being involved in the learning
process.
2. For biology teachers, POE strategy can be used as the appropriate learning
strategy for the effectiveness learning process. It can enhance teachers’
awareness to develop their strategies in teaching as an alternative strategy
for improving students learning outcomes and activity.
3. To the researcher as prospective teacher in the next future, the result of
this reasearch can be used as information source to increase information
and knowledge about the benefit of implementing POE strategy in learning
process.
