Abstract

Results of cognitive learning of students in one of the schools in Lampung towards the chemistry lesson for the 2019/2020 school year showed less satisfactory. Out of a total of 9 grade XI IPA students, 5 students have not been able to reach the KKM because of the lack of students’ learning experience that has an impact on the low cognitive outcomes. Teachers overcome this problem by implementing the drill method. Chemical variation work requires a lot of practice. This article aims to expose the exercise methods to the implementation of students learning experiences and to improve student's cognitive learning outcomes.
