Background The background contains a number of paragraphs that describe the things that motivate researchers to conduct research. In general, the things that motivate researchers are related to the existence of problems in an aspect so that research needs to be carried out. In describing this background, the researcher should consider the topic or discussion of the essential and interesting problem, so as to realize the importance of research on that aspect. B. Problem identification. In problem identification, you need to identify the problems that arise in the background of the problem. This will show the urgency of your research. As stated earlier, the writing technique is related to the prevailing policy. So, the technique of writing problem identification is like that, some write it descriptively in the form of paragraphs but some write it in the form of points (1,2,3, etc.). C. Research Objectives The research objectives contain several statements related to the purpose of the research to be carried out. D. Benefits of Research Generally, the benefits of research outline some of the benefits of research theoretically and practically. For example: 1. Theoretical Research Benefits - Adding to library references related to the application of learning strategies. 2. Practical benefits of research - Provide input to teachers or schools to be able to apply learning strategies to be able to improve students' physics learning achievement. Chapter II Literature Review, Framework and Hypothesis. In this chapter, it is stated clearly, concisely, and concisely about the results of the literature review related to the problem to be studied to then describe the framework of thought and state hypotheses for those who need hypotheses. Therefore, this chapter will include a description of about: 1. Literature Review The literature review contains the theoretical basis and discussion of research results or publications related to the research topic or problem. (publications) related to the topic or research problem. In this case, the theoretical basis and arguments compiled by the students themselves are described as a guide to solving research problems and formulating research problems. by students as a guide to solving research problems and formulating hypotheses. hypothesis. The theoretical basis can take the form of qualitative descriptions and or models that are directly related to previous research. related to previous research. In this section, it is systematically described about the results of research obtained by previous researchers and related to the research. previous researchers and related to the research conducted. In this presentation It should be shown that the problem under study has not been answered, has not been solved satisfactorily and or the same research is applied. satisfactorily and or the same research is applied in different dimensions of time and place. different time and place. The facts and data presented as far as possible are taken from the original source. 2. Relevant Research In relevant research, include some research that has been done that is related to the research to be carried out. The inclusion of relevant research is very useful to strengthen your research, so that your research is considered quite essential. You can obtain relevant research from research journals in your discipline. 3. Framework and Hypothesis a. Theoretical Framework A series of reasoning in a framework based on concepts or theories to arrive at conclusions that end in hypotheses that will be tested empirically (if necessary, displayed in the form of a flowchart). will be tested empirically (if necessary, displayed in the form of a flowchart of thought). b. Hypothesis The hypothesis contains a brief statement concluded from the theoretical basis, literature review and research objectives which contains a temporary answer to the problem at hand. Therefore, it still has to be proven empirically. 4. Research Hypothesis The research hypothesis contains the researcher's conjecture on his research. The research hypothesis itself is divided into two, namely statistical hypothesis and theoretical hypothesis CHAPTER III METHDOLOGY RESEARCH A. Type of Research The type of research is an explanation of the research approach and methods used. The reason for using the method used is explained simply. For example, qualitative, quantitative, developmental, experimental and survey research, and others. B. Types of Data Data types are divided into primary data and secondary data. The explanation is as follows: 1. Primary data Primary data is data obtained in research obtained by conducting questions and answers and direct observations or interviews and obtained through questions that are in accordance with the focus of research prepared by researchers. 2. Secondary data Secondary data is data obtained through several sources of information, including: Documents. Scientific books, research results and mass media relevant to the research focus. Internet. C. Population and Research Sample In research, experimentation and development (in the product test section) samples or product test objects are needed. It aims to provide an overview of the area of acceptance of the impact of the treatment provided. Samples are needed to make it easier for researchers to draw conclusions that apply to the population because research that does not require generalization of results does not require until but is referred to as the object of research. D. Research Methods The research method contains complete research steps. The prosedor is described according to the form of research accompanied by the subject, time and place of the research carried out. All steps that may exist in the research design but cannot be carried out are also written in the research design. E. Data Collection Techniques In collecting data, the author must adjust the situation and conditions in the field. There are several data collection techniques that can be used by researchers, namely: a. Library Research The use of libraries as a means of collecting data by studying books that have something to do with the title and discussion of the thesis / research. b. Field Work Research Observation, Observation is a way of collecting data by conducting direct research. Interview, Interview is to hold questions and answers to complete information related to research. Documentation, Documentation is a data collection technique using documents as data sources. F. Data Analysis Techniques Data analysis is an effort made by researchers to process data into information. The characteristics and properties of data analysis can be easily understood, and can be useful for answering problems related to the process of research activities. Data analysis techniques used in experimental research and development are usually divided into two, namely descriptive analysis and also inferential statistical analysis. 1. Descriptive Statistics Descriptive statistics contain how what is in the field is calculated based on simple statistics to get the average, standard deviation, highest value, lowest value, mode and median of the data overlay. Not all types of data mentioned earlier must be included in research depending on the needs of researchers because the purpose of statistics is to provide an overview of the expanse of research or descriptive data. 2. Inferential Statistics Inferential statistics is a type of generalized statistics, where this type of statistics will test data taken from a sample so that it can be inferred as the value or nature of a population. Types of analysis are numerous and depend on the type of research. As a brief overview, here are some types of descriptive statistics. Regression – A test conducted to determine the influence of one variable on other variables, such as the influence of learning outcomes on students' science process skills. In this case, the bound variable and the independent variable take the form of scale data. Correlation – Very widely used as a classical reliability test of the instrument. The correlation test connects two or more similar variables from different measurements, for example measurements can be done twice by different times or done by the same two people simultaneously. The result is said to be reliable if it has a Cronbach alpha value of more than 0.7 (some experts say 0.8) T test – One of the comparative test techniques of two or more groups with a small amount. The t test is very precise on samples less than 25 to 60. Test F – A comparative test of two or more groups with a large sample distribution. The test is very good in use for sample counts greater than 50. Anova – Analysis of variance from a data overlay of a sample. One type of regression test Mannova – Multi analysis of variance is a regression test with the number of variables bound to more than one variable. Anacova and Mancova – The regression test is the same as Annova and Mancova, only it is needed for data from those that do not have good variance. Genelar Linear Model Test – A path analysis performed where changes are not only measured from two points but many points and repeated. Changes are measured periodically from the first, second, third measurement and so on. General Linear Model Repeated Variate Test – Path Analysis that compares changes in two groups of samples but from the same variefl. Normality Test – A test performed to determine the shape of the distribution of data on the sample. This test will determine the appropriate type of statistics in the data. IRT – Item response theory or test conducted to measure instrument characteristics based on student responses. The test is similar to the correlation test, except that IRT comes from a more modern theory where the measurement results do not depend on the sample.
