Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Research & Method in Education (IOSRJRME) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
Abstract
This research is conducted due to the lack of science practice activities for students Grade VII at MTs Al Fudlola, a junior high school located in Porong, Sidoarjo. These lack activities drive students to have a low interest in learning process. In fact, guidance for the practice activities can be found in textbooks and practice-books (LKS), but it is not contextual and applicable enough. Therefore, this research is purposed to improve interests and understanding of students Grade VII at MTs Al Fudlola on environmental pollution. A main problem found in conducting this research is the students have no concerns and curiosity on environmental issues around them even though their school is only a kilometer far from the central of mud bursts, known as Lumpur Lapindo. Then, an alternative to deal with this matter is by applying Contextual Education Approach through Inquiry Learning Method. There were 23 students of Grade VII at Mts Al Fudlola took part in this research. The data obtained are qualitative and quantitative. The result of this research reveals that students’ interest and understanding on nearest neighbor environment has improved. It can be seen through their final great score and their initiative to take solidarity on the day of Memorial of Lapindo Mudflow Tragedy.
