Scaffolding dalam Microteaching Kimia Berbasis Pembelajaran Langsung dan Siklus Belajar

Abstract

Scaffolding in Chemistry Microteaching Utilizing  Direct Instruction and Learning Cycle. This study concerns developing students’ competence in conducting microteaching in chemistry, especially in preparing lesson plans using direct instruction and learning cycle and in implementing the lesson plans in peer teaching. The microteaching skills of 26 students are enhanced using scaffolding, implemented gradually and integratedly. The scaffolding comprises three stages: orientation of the task, revising the lesson plan, and carrying out peer teaching. Scaffolding is found to enable the students to develop lesson plans and to realize the lesson plans in peer teaching, as can be seen from their scores on the two aspects. In addi­tion, the students respond positively to the use of scaffolding in microteaching.
