Abstract


The research aims at describing the implementation of Ayo Balik natural science learning model to the eighth-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 State Junior High School, Semarang regency, Central Java, Indonesia. It used a qualitative approach. The techniques of data collection consisted of limited, wide, and validity tests. The data validation used theory and data/source triangulation technique. The data analysis employed an interactive model, including data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The results of the study show that 1) Ayo Balik model could develop the students’ cognition, affection, psychomotor competencies, and academic activities. 2) The model could encourage among students to welcome and tolerate the difference in races, religions, academics, and social strata. 3) The model could develop the students’ social skills. It can be concluded that Ayo Balik natural science learning model was said to be effective and efficient for increasing the students’ academic performances. Similarly, it can encourage the students to play an actively cooperative and collaborative role in a learning process, on one hand. On the other hand, the teachers do not have any difficulties in a learning activity. They can be easy to discuss them and can create a fun learning and varied atmosphere.
