Abstract:
The purpose of this research to describe the effect of the use of the original
media on learning outcomes of cognitive science in physics in eighth grade
students of Junior High School 32 Pekanbaru second semester of academic year
2012/2013 on materials Optical. The research was conducted by the research
design Intact Group Comparison Design. The population are all eighth grade
students of Junior High School 32 Pekanbaru with this sample is VIII4 grade
students as a class that implements the original media and VIII3 grade students as
a conventional class. Descriptive data analysis, for class that implement the
original media obtained absorption average 77% with good category and
effectiveness of categorized effective learning. Completeness learning students
84% and 67% completeness learning objectives with incomplete category . While
the inferential analysis by Mann Whitney test significance value of 0.000. Based
on the criteria for hypothesis testing turns significance value <0.05 then H0 is
rejected. So that there are significant differences of cogni tive science learning
outcomes physics eighth grade students of Junior high School 32 Pekanbaru on
Optical subject between the original media applying learning with conventional
learning at the level of 95%
