Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of advance organizer model to improve learning activities and achievement of students in the philosophy of education class in Primary School Teacher Education Program (PGSD), Faculty of Educational Sciences (FIP), Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI). To this end, a classroom action research was conducted, involving 49 students enrolled in the even semester of lecture year 2015/2016. The data were collected through field notes, observation, and test. Qualitative data were analyzed through the phases of data reduction, data classification, data display, data interpretation, reflection, and conclusion drawing, and quantitative data were analyzed using statistical calculation. The results show that: (1) The implementation of advance organizer model in the philosophy of education class through discussion method requires the syllabus and course unit to be equipped with a teaching scenario. (2) The implementation of advance organizer model improved the teaching and learning activities. The lecturer actively prepared the lesson through a lecturing orientation, chaired students’ discussion, motivated students to learn, and help them relate the materials to their prior knowledge, so the concept map is easily understandable. At the same time, the students actively delivered the material, conferred with each other, drew a concept map, and answered questions. (3) The implementation of advance organizer model improved student absorption rate up to 77% from 68% in the previous year. It is recommended that the advance organizer model be implemented not only in the philosophy of education class, but also in other classes.
