Scientific Approach in Learning

Here is one of hottest issue recently. It has emerged as result of the launch of new curriculum. This approach focuses on how teaching material and process become more scientific, using empirical fact, logic phenomenon, or rational value.

I am trying to simplifize this for my own interest. Reading some articles, books, and technical clues rather makes me spinning around. To break it into some pieces, I would like to concern on the process of learning would be done applying this approach. The process goes to three focuses, indeed, those three stuffs are important, attitude (know why), knowledge (know what?), and skill (know how).

By looking at these three objects, the teacher is supposed to create a productive, innovative, creative, and affective learning. Still, the aim of this is to produce students who are balanced both in soft and hard skills.

It has some steps need to be done in teaching and learning process which are: observing, questioning, associating, experimenting, and networking. Actually, I have read some previous approaches that let students to think critically or involved in a problem-solving. In short, this is also aimed to make students can identify, compare, analyze, evaluate and understand a topic clearly. Furthermore, students can apply their knowledge, use it in their daily life. See, today there are a lot of people who know how something should be but prefer to avoid their knowledge.   

There are three methods which support scientific approach: discovery learning, project based learning, and problem based learning. These methods

Knowledge	Skill
	Abstrak	Konkrit
Faktual	Discovery Learning	Discovery Learning
Konseptual	Discovery Learning	Discovery Learning
Prosedural	Discovery Learning Problem Based Learning	Discovery Learning Problem Based Learning
Metakognitif	Discovery Learning Project Based Learning Problem Based Learning	Discovery Learning Project Based Learning Problem Based Learning
