The implementation of discovery learning using personal site in physics online classroom

This study aim to describe the implementation of discovery learning using personal site in online physics classroom. Learning process still could not conducted by face to face at school instead students and teachers have to conduct learning process by online learning. There are many platform and resources for online learning, but teachers need to design these resources to make a meaningful learning for students. An alternative approach or learning model as a meaningful learning is discovery learning. Personal sites was designed according to discovery learning step model in rubber, spring and Hooke’s law concepts. Personal teacher’s site contain some videos, text, simulation and guide of data collecting depend on the needs of discovery environment. In addition, students also used personal sites to make a report (e-portfolio) about the result of their learning process, made generalization, work in a group and presenting. Students show their abilities in independent investigation, data collecting and making a report using personal site. Based on normalized gain score 0,63, there is increasing students’ learning outcome with learning effectivity in average category. In addition, percentage of students who complete all assignments on time 80% mean that discovery learning using personal site has good criteria for students’ interaction with learning material. These indicates that discovery learning is an alternative method in online physics classroom although there are many things need to improve and develop such as animation or simulation and guided experiments.
