Abstract:
Research on the provision of material preconditions have been conducted to
determine whether provision the material precondition can improve student
achievement on the buffer solution subject in class XI SMAN 1 Pekanbaru. The
research’s form is an experimental research with pretest-posttest design. The
research was conducted on the even semester in academic year 2012/2013. The
sample consisted of two classes, class XI Science 2 as the experimental and
class XI Science 1 as the control class which randomly selected after tests of
normality and homogeneity . Experimental class was treated by giving material
precondition, while the control class was not given precondition material.
Provision of material precondition was done to establish the precondition
knowledge that students are more receptive to further learning. Data collection
technique used is the test. Data analysis technique used is the t-test. Based on
the results of the final data processing obtained t
count > ttable, it is 3,08 > 1,67.
This shows that the provision of material preconditions can improve student
achievement on the buffer solution subject in class XI SMAN 1 Pekanbaru, the
effect of an increase of 13.68%.
