CTL Learning Model for Improving and Developing Understanding Puberty Materials

CTL Learning Model for Improving and Developing Understanding Puberty Materials

Information and communication technology is growing rapidly. Various information from various corners of the world very easily accessible in an increasingly global era. Communication tool in recent years dominated the world market is handphone (HP). HP with various brands and completeness of its facilities so well loved by many children, adolescents (ABG), and adults. Likewise, growth and development of private television stations in Indonesia on the one hand be proud, but on the other hand raises our concern. Why? These concerns arise because of television shows that aired many who do not educate our children. Many scenes, Äúsekwilda, Äù (around the chest area) and, Äúbupati, Au (open high thigh-high) and show a kind of patron-in other ways that lead children to be consumptive and luxury lifestyle (glamorous), to live freely without regard to the norms applicable. Such scenes would have a negative impact on mental development, social, and physical children. Not to mention, the growth of cafe-cafe like mushrooms in the rainy season where the kids so easily access the Internet to satisfy the curiosity of children about the means of reproduction without the guidance of parents / teachers. The facilities contained in HP also allows children access to things that are not worthy to be seen / known. Therefore do not be surprised if lately a lot less pleasant events that befall us as teenagers involved intercourse / sex-free, drug addicts, MBA / pregnant out of wedlock, rape, theft / robbery etc. Such incidents occur due to the influence of the spectacle that is less lead children to become good personal. At puberty there are changes that occur in the teens with the influence of hormone-specific hormones. Changes occur in the physical aspects, psychological and social. This often causes changes in behavior that initially sweet child becomes unruly children even children with problems. Meanwhile, the teens have not even did not have enough knowledge about the changes that occur. Ignorance due to lack of knowledge of their parent or parents have the knowledge of puberty but they are very busy working. Of course this raises deep concern for parents, educators and the general public. Schools as an educational institution should look at this phenomenon. Providing knowledge on puberty (puberty) seems to provide strong capital base and in the face of changing internal and external to our youth, so as to prevent the things we do not want.

Observation of the author as an educator in SD 2 YPK indicate that the class VI students who have experienced a lot and some have experienced it mensturasi while in class IV (age 10 years). In general, these last 10 years there is a trend we experienced teens mensturasi early, too early than teenage wet dream long ago. The reason is the increasing nutritional factors, as well as environmental factors such as the shows that stimulate their sexual libido.

But children who have wet dreams mensturasi and yet have good enough knowledge in line with any changes they experienced. This situation is interesting to study for our teens feel ready and comfortable to face periods of puberty or puberty. Thus, our next generation does not fall on the life of a misleading and we as educators took part in preparing the next generation of quality.

SD 2 Kaltim Fertilizer Foundation, the majority of students are children of Kaltim Fertilizer employee. Socioeconomic level of students' average upper middle, so that all needs fulfilled both the needs of primary, secondary and even tertiary. Almost all students have a hp, computers / laptops, and Internet networks in their homes. This condition on the one hand beneficial, but one party needs to vigilance. Role for teachers and parents can direct toward positive things from the facilities they have. Selection of appropriate learning models can bring problems of students with a solution. Learning model CTL (Contextual Teaching and Learning), selected with consideration to link the subject matter with the situations and conditions of grade 6 students who are experiencing puberty.

Contextual Teaching and Learning or contextual learning is a concept of teaching and learning that help teachers link the activities and subjects of teaching materials with real situations that can motivate students to be able to connect the knowledge and terapannya with the daily life of students as family members and even as members of society where she lives (U.S. Department of Education, 2001).
From the presentation of this learning program, there are some findings that seem meaningful and closely related to learning and teaching of CTL, namely:
1. How to active student learning (CBSA): with the help of LDS / LKS students look / perform their own to get the data and information about physical changes in adolescents who begin puberty as well as maintain the cleanliness of reproductive health, the introduction of religious norms. The individual student daughter had a discussion with the mother / older sister / mother of his chosen teacher, while boys with the father / older brother / father teacher of his choice.
2. Process skills approach (PKP): students are given the freedom to bring their potential in the search for new knowledge, by making the process of discussion, class presentations, interviews.
3. Life skills education (Life skills education): students are given supplies to care for oneself (self study) such as reproductive health, can make mensturasi traditional herbal medicine (jamu turmeric tamarind).
4. Teaching authentic (autentics instruction): students actually do own the process to seek knowledge about the means of male and female reproductive changes at puberty fiisik based on clues provided by teachers, and guidance of teachers or adults who appointed teachers.
5. Inquiri-based Learning (inquiri based learning): student will seek and find their own knowledge / skills desired, this cycle starts from the observation-hypothesis-question the conclusion of data collection.
6. Problem-based learning (problem based learning) students obtain knowledge starting point of his problems is the existence of hormones at puberty followed by physical changes, emotionally, in the end the knowledge acquired at the same time to solve the problem.
7. Cooperative learning (cooperative learning): students are social beings can work together for between one another in facing the problem. Distribution of small groups with the ability of members of different groups, sharing responsibilities, interact with each other to accomplish the task group.
The assessment was conducted in two phases, namely:
1. Assessment of the assessment process when students are doing the learning process. This assessment includes: assessment of attitude (affective) which include: attention during the activity, often ask / express opinions, timeliness collect duties, participation in study groups.
2. Assessment results of the assessment after, students completed the learning process.
This assessment includes:
• assessment of student work (Produc test) such as: clippings, charts.
• assessment of learning outcomes, in the form of pencil and paper test consisting of: multiple choice, structured description, objective, short answer. From the assessment, the results obtained 70% of class mastery, nurturant effects (accompanist), especially in the learning process that parents become closer and watched the children in the face during puberty.
Similarly, the author's experience in applying the CTL model, hopefully to make one of the variations Puberty learning in primary schools.
