Pentingnya Penerapan Metode Pembelajaran Demonstrasi Dalam Mengatasi Kesulitan Belajar Siswa Pada Pembelajaran Kimia;The Importance of Applying the Demonstration Learning Method in Overcoming Students' Learning Difficulties in Chemistry Learning

Abstract

Chemistry is a tendency lesson that is considered difficult and abstract for students, causing some students experienced learning difficulties. Therefore, the purpose of this paper writing is to examine the implementation of demonstration methods in overcoming the learning difficulties of students in chemistry. The author used qualitative descriptive research methods, consisting of two phases of 1) Literature study using 58 references to examine the implementation of demonstration methods in addressing students ' learning difficulties in chemical learning, and 2) Perform observations in one of the schools which are useful describing the learning process situation in the X-grade SMA Kristen Indonesia. The application of this demonstration method is one of God’s way to introduce His work in chemistry, so that students can learn to know God through the creation. Based on the results of this paper writing show that the implementation of demonstration methods is very appropriate in addressing students' learning in chemistry. Because of the active involvement of students in implementing demonstration methods is based on the motivation and learning interests that make students actively participating in achieving learning outcomes and making the learning process effective. Further studies can examine the implementation of demonstration methods on student learning outcomes. To know that the demonstration method is effective for student learning outcomes.
