This study aims to get a representation of the students' cognitive abilities improvement on the concept of static fluid as a result of the application of learning cycle 7E with Technology Based Constructivist Teaching (TBCT). This research uses quasi experiment method with Pretest Posttest Two Equivalent Group Design. The subjects were class XI students of academic year 2017-2018 as many as 56 students divided into 2 classes, 29 students of class XI IPA 1 as experimental class and 27 students of class XI IPA 2 as control class. Measurement of students' cognitive abilities using a multiple choice instrument test on the concept of static fluid. The data were collected using pretest and posttest.

 

The results showed that the learning of physics with learning model LC 7E with TBCT approach can significantly improve students cognitive abilities on the concept of static fluid with n-gain value of 0,56 categorized medium compared to physics learning with learning model LC 7E with CT approach with n-gain value of 0,51 categorized medium. It was concluded that the learning model LC 7E with TBCT approach was significantly more effective in improving students' cognitive ability compared to the learning model LC 7E with CT approach.
