The Influence of Learning Activeness and Adaptive Reasoning on Students' Strategic Competence with Metaphorical Thinking Learning Approach

摘要

This research aims to describe and examine the influence of learning activeness and adaptive reasoning on strategic competence of learning Intelligent Control System (ICS) course with metaphorical thinking learning approach. The type of research was a survey study. The population of this research included all students of the semester VI of Mechatronics Engineering Education. The sample in the study were the class F students in the academic year of 2013 who were taking course of Intelligent Control System. Data collection techniques used observation, test, and question. Research instruments included a sheet of observation, Likert-scale questions form, and strategic competence tests of ICS. Data analysis techniques to answer the problem formulation used correlation and regression analysis. The results of the result are (1) there is a positive influence of adaptive reasoning on strategic competence of learning ICS for R = 0.5806 or 58.1%, (2) there is a significant and positive influence of metaphorical thinking learning on strategic competence of learning ICS for R = 0.3769 or 37.7%, (3) there is a positive and significant influence of adaptive reasoning and learning of metaphorical thinking together on strategic competence of learning ICS with F 45.202 significant with the model of equation y =-45.18+ 1.07 0.87 × 1 + X 2.
