ABSTRAKTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan keterampilanbereksperimen melalui model pembelajaran SETS (Science, Environment,Technology, and Society) pada siswa kelas V SD Negeri 01 Kalijirak TasikmaduKaranganyar tahun ajaran 2014/2015.Bentuk penelitian ini adalah penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK) yangdilaksanakan dalam tiga siklus. Tiap siklus terdiri dari empat tahap, yaituperencanaan, pelaksanaan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah siswakelas V SD Negeri 01 Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar tahun ajaran 2014/2015Yyang berjumlah 25 siswa. Sumber data berasal dari guru kelas V, data nilaiketerampilan bereksperimen prasiklus dan saat tindakan. Teknik pengumpulandata yang digunakan adalah hasil observasi, wawancara, dokumentasi, portofolio,dan tes. Validitas data yang digunakan adalah triangulasi sumber dan triangulasiteknik. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah model analisis interaktif yangmempunyai tiga buah komponen yaitu reduksi data, sajian data, dan penarikankesimpulan.Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa melalui modelpembelajaran SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) dapatmeningkatkan keterampilan bereksperimen pada siswa kelas V SD Negeri 01Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar tahun ajaran 2014/2015. Hal ini terbuktidengan nilai rata-rata keterampilan bereksperimen siswa pada prasiklus adalah65,8 dengan persentase ketercapaian kelas sebesar 40% siswa yang mencapaibatas nilai KKM sebesar 75. Pada siklus I, nilai rata-rata kelas meningkat menjadi69,7 dengan persentase ketercapaian kelas sebesar 60%. Pada siklus II, nilai rataratakelas meningkat 77,8 dengan persentase ketercapaian kelas sebesar 76%.Pada siklus III, nilai rata-rata kelas meningkat 86,4 dengan persentaseketercapaian kelas sebesar 96%. Dengan demikian dapat diajukan suaturekomendasi bahwa model pembelajaran SETS (Science, Environment,Technology, and Society) dapat meningkatkan keterampilan bereksperimen padasiswa kelas V SD Negeri 01 Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar tahun ajaran2014/2015.Kata Kunci: SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society),Keterampilan BereksperimenABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to improve the experiment skills throughlearning model of SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) in fifthgrade students of State Primary School of 01 Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar inthe academic year 2014/2015.This research form is Classroom Action Research (CAR) and it wasconducted in three cycles. Each cycle consist of four steps, they are planning,implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subject is the fifth gradestudents of State Primary School of 01 Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar in theacademic year 2014/2015 consist of 25 students. The source of data came fromteacher, data value of experiment skills in precycles and data value of experimentskills in three cycles. The data collecting technique used are observation,interview, documentation, portofolio, and test. The data validity usedtriangulation of resources and triangulation of technique. The data analysistechnique was interactive analys model consisting of the three components, theare data reduction, data display, and conclusion.Based on the research result, it can be concluded that through SETS(Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) model can improving theexperiment skills through in the fifth grade students of State Primary School of 01Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar in the academic year 2014/2015. This provedby the average value before action is 65,8 with a percentage of classicalcompleteness is 40%. On the cycle I, the average value of student rising to 69,7with a percentage of classical completeness is 60%. On the cycle II, the averagevalue of student rising to 77,8 with a percentage of classical completeness is 76%.On the cycle III, the average value of student rising again become 86,4 with apercentage of classical completeness is 96%. Therefore, a recommendation can beaddressed that SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) model canimprove the experiment skills in the fifth grade students of State Primary Schoolof 01 Kalijirak Tasikmadu Karanganyar in the academic year 2014/2015.Keywords: SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society), Experimentskills
