efektivitas penerapan model pembelajaran pencapaian konsep terhadap pemahaman konsep belajar siswa kelas vii pada materi suhu dan kalor di smp
The progress of a nation can be measured by the advancement of its educational quality, as education is one of the key instruments in human resource development. Physics learning requires students to be active in every activity. However, physics is often perceived as a difficult subject, and students tend to be less engaged during the learning process. As a result, many students assume that physics consists only of formulas and theories. This occurs because students are not enthusiastic about learning physics, even though deep understanding of the material is essential for strengthening conceptual comprehension. Therefore, teachers must be able to design learning tools that can be implemented effectively to achieve the intended learning objectives. One learning model that can improve students’ conceptual understanding is the concept attainment model.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of implementing the concept attainment learning model on the conceptual understanding of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Kubu in the topic of temperature and heat. This research is beneficial for teachers as an alternative effective learning model, for students in improving conceptual understanding and critical thinking, and for schools in enhancing the quality of science learning through a more active and meaningful approach.
This study was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Kubu during the odd semester of the 2025/2026 academic year, from July to October. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a Posttest Only Non-Equivalent Control Group Design. The population consisted of all seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Kubu, totaling 88 students. The sample was selected through simple random sampling and consisted of an experimental class that applied the concept attainment model and a control class that used conventional learning. The research instrument was a conceptual understanding test consisting of 12 multiple-choice questions developed based on four indicators: restating concepts, classifying objects, providing examples and non-examples, and presenting concepts.

The results showed that the average posttest score of the experimental class that implemented the concept attainment model was 67.80 (categorized as good), while the control class using conventional learning scored 56.06 (categorized as sufficient). Hypothesis testing using an Independent Sample T-Test yielded a significance value of 0.016 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the two classes. Thus, the implementation of the concept attainment learning model proved to be effective in improving students’ conceptual understanding in the topic of temperature and heat.
Based on these findings, it is recommended that teachers apply the concept attainment model as an alternative strategy in science learning, particularly for abstract topics. Furthermore, students are encouraged to be more active during the learning process, and schools should provide adequate support facilities to ensure the optimal implementation of this model.
