Abstract

This research aims to study the effect of research-based learning activity to enhance an active learning behavior for science teacher students. This study employed pre-experimental research design which using a sequential explanatory mixed-method approach. The targets were composed of 44 third year science student teachers. Research instrument were lesson plan which designed by using research-based learning activity for electricity and energy course (evaluated as very good quality;  gif.latex?\bar{x}= 4.74, S.D. = 0.36) and questionnaire which comprised of check-list form and open ended answer (IOC = 0.98), before and after research-based learning activity.  The quantitative data was analyzed by using simple statistic. The other way, the qualitative data were analyzed by inductive content analysis. The result found that the inclusion of student with research-based learning activities was able to promote science students teachers learn with more active learning behaviors, especially, learning with a collaborative group and learning with the presentation of new knowledge which discovered by themselves to friends in the class. This result correlate to the results of the qualitative data analysis, the students' active learning pattern tends to change to be a project-based learning or research-based learning. This learning activity is a group activity that is not limited to the classroom, and also accomplishing with research findings or project presentations in this learning activity.
