Pengaruh Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Berbasis Digital Terhadap Pemahaman Konsep Matematika Siswa Kelas VIII SMP

Abstract

It seems that the digital era can no longer be separated from a person's daily life. Likewise in the world of education, education that is not adaptive to technological advances such as the digital world will certainly lose direction and be left behind by others. The development of mathematics learning is greatly influenced by advances in technology and information that are currently developing. The use of learning media is one way to use communication and information technology in the learning process. Students in recent developments are already familiar with the massive use of technology and information tools and media. According to the latest data from UNICEF, at least 30 million children and teenagers in Indonesia are internet users, and digital media is currently the main choice of communication channel they use. For homework, 84% of Indonesian students use smartphones. In this way, monotonous learning and passive students are no longer an obstacle. In this study, researchers tested the effectiveness of digital learning models using learning videos on students' understanding of mathematical concepts. This research was conducted on class VIII SMP students. The results of the research using the t-test showed sig < α, namely the influence of the pretest and posttest of the experimental class using digital learning models using learning videos, namely 0.003 < 0.05. The t-test average learning outcomes for the experimental class and control class is 0.009 <0.05 so there is a significant influence between the pretest and posttest as well as the average learning outcomes between the experimental class and the control class. The use of digital learning models using learning videos makes it easier for students to understand the concepts of mathematical material and has extensive reference sources. Students become more active and feel less monotonous in the learning process. On the other hand, the use of conventional learning models where learning uses the teacher as the learning center makes students no more active than digital learning models using learning videos.
