Abstract

This research is classroom action research that aims to improve the mastery of the concept of cell transport through scientific writing papers based on experiments during online learning during pandemic. The research was conducted in class XI MIPA 1 at SMA Negeri 2 Purwakarta with 36 students. The treatment in this study consisted of 3 cycles using a constructivism approach with a modified inquiry model. Each cycle is based on reflection of the previous cycle in the guidance of scientific writing papers. First, the results showed that the average learning outcomes for mastery concepts increased by 40.90% with a t-test of 0.000, which is smaller than 0.2785, which means that the treatment has a significant impact on mastering the concept of cell transport. Second, the ability of scientific writing papers shows an increase of 11.25%. Overall, this classroom action research shows that making scientific writing papers can improve mastery of the concept of cell transport, and this may be a recommendation for teaching methods on other concepts.
