The Correlation between Academic Honesty and a Students' Curiosity with the Results of Learning based on Discovery Learning

摘要

Problem statement: Schools as educational organizers play an important role in fostering academic, honesty and curiosity behaviors of learners as the next generation nations. To cultivate honest behavior and curiosity behaviors should be applied to any learning that uses contextual-based discovery learning models. This study aims to determine: (1) the correlation between academic honesty and the outcomes of acid-base learning outcomes, (2) the correlation of curiosity with the outcomes of acid-base learning the approach. That used this research is correlational research. Data collection techniques used are observation, documentation, and questionnaires. Quantitative analysis of data using correlation. The study population was 498 students consisting of three high schools in the 2017/2018 school year. The research sample of 92 students was taken randomly, three Mathematics and Natural Science classes from three senior high schools, namely: (1) class XI.1-9 Maros, (2) Class XI.1-3 Pangkep, (3) and Class XI.3-8 Makassar. Results of the study. It was found that (1) there was a significant and positive correlation between academic honesty with acid-base learning outcomes of students in these three schools, (2) There was a significant and positive correlation between curiosity with acid-base learning outcomes of students of class XI MIA 1 SMA Negeri 9 Maros and class XI MIA 1 Senior High School 3 Pangkep, but there is no correlation of curiosity with the learning outcomes of students of class XI MIA 3 Senior High School 8 Makassar. Acid-base learning using contextual discovery-based models is one of the learning models that can integrate academic honesty and curiosity in the process of learning chemistry in high schools as a growing point of scientific attitude in students.
