The Implementation of Brain-Based Learning on Speaking Skill based on Eric Jensen's Perspective

This study is inspired by the learning of speaking skills in Mts Nurul Huda Malang predominantly used in the left brain. But in reality, the right brain has a function of creativity and motivation. The goals of the study are: (1) to describe the implementation of brain-based learning on speaking skill based on Eric Jensen’s perspective; (2) to understand the factors causing the effectiveness of brain-based learning on speaking skill based on Eric Jensen’s perspective; (3) to know the effectiveness of the implementation of brain-based learning on speaking skill based on Eric Jensen’s perspective. This study is a qualitative and quantitative approach. The data collection techniques used are observation, interview, and test. The data qualitative is analyzed by using Miles and Huberman’s model and the quantitative data is analyzed by using SPSS application. The results of this study are: (1) the implementation of brain-based learning applied the 7 stages by functioning 2 hemispheres of the brain and balancing 3 brain waves; (2) several factors influence the effectiveness of the implementation brain-based learning. They are coloring in the learning process, deployment of concrete images, listening to music during the learning process, giving time for a drinking water and seating arrangements; (3) the effective implementation of brain-based learning is worth testing in field with t-test result in experiment class that is t-count > t-table (5.657 > 2.306).
