Abstract
This study aimed to find out: (1) the level of Science learning outcomes of the students at class VIII Stella Maris Biudukfoho whom were taught using the integrated Science learning of the connected model (2) the completeness percentage of Science learning outcomes of the students whom were taught using the integrated Science learning of the connected model. This research type was pre-experiment. The research design used was One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The independent variable in this research was the integrated Science learning of the connected model, while the dependent variable was the students learning outcomes. The sample of this research was 30 students at class VIII. The data of the research results were obtained by giving a test of learning outcomes with the theme of vibration, wave and sound in the form of pretest and posttest. The instrument of this research was 20 multiple choice items that had been validated by the experts. The result of the descriptive analysis showed that the average value of N-gain of the students learning outcomes was 0.6 which was in the medium category with the percentage of 60% in the high category, 40% in the medium category, and 0% in the low category. From the aspect of the completeness of learning outcomes, it was found out that the percentage of the students whose grades above Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) was 80%. The result showed that the implementation of the connected model in learning integrated Science could improve the students learning outcomes.
