Abstract

This research aims to determine students cognitive structure through flow map method on the Reaction of Rate materials using 8E Learning Cycle model. The subjects of this study were 33 students of grade XI. This research used qualitative methods. Data collection techniques were carried out through flow map, students worksheet, interview, reflective journal, observation, and comprehension test instrument. The data validity checks in this study were Prolonged Engagement, Member Checking, Persistent Observation, and Progressive Subjectivity. The data analysis technique used in this study is Miles and Huberman model, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Cognitive structure analysis was carried out by considering 6 cognitive structure variables based on Tsai, namely Extent, Richness, Integrations, Misconceptions, Information retrieval rate, and Flexibility. The results showed that, at the beginning of learning, the average number of students cognitive structure variables was low and number of misconceptions was high. Furthermore, the development of students cognitive structure show its development after participating in learning activities using the 8E Learning Cycle model. This shows that the 8E Learning Cycle model can help students develop their cognitive structure.
