Keywords: Media Simulation, Light Reflection Concept, Student Engagement
The ambiguity and complexity of the material presented to the student teacher is one of the causes of less than optimal student learning outcomes. Media simulations are meant to attract the attention of students and facilitate understanding of the concept of light reflection. The purpose of this research is to increase understanding of the concept of student learning and engagement. This research is an experimental research. The research design used was a pretest-posttest control group. The population in this study were students of class VIII A-C SMP N 1 Tambakromo, as a sample of students in class VIII A and VIII B. samples selected by simple random sampling technique. The data are collected by using documentation, observation, and tests metods. Prior to the reseach, conducted trials to determine the validity of the instrument, reliable, level of difficulty, and distinguishing the instrument. Analysis of the test data using the formula to determine the gain of improving student learning outcomes and t-test to test the hypothesis.
The
Results showed that class using instructional
materials with simulated media has increased. Results mean pretest score was
49.84 and the average posttest score was 80.94, an increase of 0,62. Large g
factor for the affective aspects of classroom experiments for the presence of
0.80, 0.52 attention, responsibility 0.13, expression 0.45, 0.48 and group
cooperation. Results
of the t-test with the left side of the
sample obtained t_hitung t_tabel of 3.35 whereas the 5% significance level with
31 df is 1.697 so thitung>-ttabel which shows the average results
of learning using instructional materials with the same media simulations
greater or equal to 75 and the result t-test the left side with two samples
obtained t_hitung of 0.362, while t_tabel at 5% significance level with 62 df
is 1.670 so thitung>-ttabel
which shows that the learning outcomes using teaching materials with simulated
media is better or equal to the results learn to use the textbooks. It can be
concluded that using instructional materials with simulated media can increase
learning outcomes and student engagement.
