<strong>Sylvia</strong> Faustine. Analysis of Social Students’ Cognitive Structure with Free<br />
Word Association Tests and Concept Mapping on Acid Base with Learning<br />
Cycle 8E. Jakarta: Chemistry Education Study Program, Faculty of Mathematics<br />
and Natural Sciences, State University of Jakarta, June 2017.<br />
This study aims to analyze the social 1 grade 11 students’ cognitive structure in<br />
SMAN 89 Jakarta with free word association tests and concept mapping in<br />
acidic base material.<br />
The methodology used in this research is qualitative. This research method use<br />
interpretive research paradigm that is used to understand and interpret every<br />
phenomenon that occurs in research. Data collection techniques such as<br />
observation, interview, free word association tests, and concept mapping. Data<br />
analysis techniques used are qualitative data analysis performed with data<br />
reduction phase, data presentation, and verification/conclusions.<br />
The results showed that students of social 1 grade 11 had an increased<br />
understanding in every stage of the Learning Cycle 8E model used. Keywords<br />
and sentences created by students based on previous experience and new<br />
understanding. Learning Cycle 8E model has an impact on the development of<br />
students' cognitive and softskill structures. Data collection in this research uses<br />
free word association tests conducted at the exploring, elaborate, extend, and<br />
explain phases. The concept mapping stage has done at the end of acid base<br />
material. Based on the results of the research, Learning Cycle 8E cycle can<br />
decrease the percentage of misconception on the concept of indicator and acidbase<br />
strength. This results suggest teacher to Learning Cycle 8E model that<br />
can overcome students’ misconceptions.<br />
