Siapa takut jadi juara OSN-K? Pendampingan Siswa SMP Negeri 6 Mataram dalam Rangka Persiapan OSN-K IPA Bidang Fisika

Abstrak

The ability to solve science olympiad questions in the field of Physics correctly, precisely, and quickly is needed by students who will take part in National Science Olympiad (OSN) competitions at the city/district (OSN-K), provincial (OSN-P) or national levels. Sometimes these abilities have not been possessed by students and have not been trained optimally by teachers coaching olympic extracurricular activities at school due to time constraints. This may trigger students' fear and greatly affect their readiness to take part in the competition. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out mentoring activities for students of SMP Negeri 6 Mataram with the aim of training and improving the ability to solve science olympiad questions in the field of Physics in preparation for OSN-K in 2023. This community service activity consisted of 3 stages, namely preparation, implementation, and evaluation, with the use of lecture, training, and mentoring methods given to 5 students selected to represent the school in this competition. Students were given an explanation of physics material guided by the 2023 OSN SMP syllabus in the field of science and were trained to solve olympic questions. Based on student responses to the questionnaires about the implementation of this activity, it was revealed that 80% of students obtained an overview of physics material related to OSN, understood the material explained, dared to express opinions, were able to complete OSN practice questions, and were very happy with this mentoring activity, and students became fearless, brave, and willing to become OSN champions.
