Pengaruh Penerapan Pembelajaran Peta Konsep Terhadap Pemahaman Konsep Koloid Siswa Kelas XI Sman 2 Mataram Tahun Ajaran 2013/2014

: This study aims to determine the effect of the application of the concept map of learning students' to understanding the concept colloid class XI SMAN 2 Mataram academic year 2013/2014. Learning outcomes in this study include learning of knowledge and observation data from the student activities as supporting data. This study is a quasi experimental design, with the populations are students from class XI IPA 5 to XI IPA 8 of SMAN 2 Mataram academic year 2013/2014. Sampling was done with a random sampling technique to the population in the unit class. Sampled class is a class XI IPA 5 as a control class that uses the conventional learning (lectures) and class XI IPA 6 as an experimental class that uses the learning concept maps. Data obtained using a pretest conducted in early learning and posttests were carried out at the end of the meeting to calculate the level of student understanding through the N-gain. Statistical test is used to test the hypothesis is Mann Whitney test with normal curve approach is performed on the data Z N-gain. The data indicate that both classes of understanding students' grade level experimental and control classes in middle category, which is 5,08. The results of the N-gain hypothesis test at significance level of 5% was obtained Zhitung (0,04)<Ztabel (1.96) which means that in this study received Ho or Ha rejected. This shows that the application of the learning concept maps have no effect on the better understanding of the concept colloid of class XI SMAN 2 Mataram academic year 2013/2014
