Pemahaman Struktur Bacaan IPA dan Strategi Memahami Materialnya
Abstrak
Salah satu alasan mengapa siswa kurang berhasil dalam belajar sains (IPA) adalah karena mereka mengalami kesulitan membaca buku teks. Siswa yang tidak trampil dalam membaca buku teks hanya akan menghabiskan banyak waktu dalam proses belajar yang tidak produktif. Mereka memiliki peluang yang kecil untuk dapat menyelesaikan masalah yang terdapat dalam teks bacaan. Ada 6 (enam) tipe struktur teks atau pola utama organisasi material teks IPA, yaitu ; sekuens, enumerasi, generalisasi, klasifikasi, perbandingan dan pengontrasan, dan penyelesaian masalah. Untuk dapat memahaminya dengan baik, setiap bentuk struktur teks atau pola organisasi material teks tersebut menuntut strategi membaca tertentu.Referensi
