Effect of Learning Media on Science Learning Achievement In Elementary School Students Class IV

Abstract

Because by using learning media effectively, it is hoped that students will be able to understand well the theory lessons being taught. The purpose of this research is (a) to determine the level of science learning performance of class IV students who were taught using and not using learning media (on the science learning performance of class IV A students in the previous control group and B) to find out whether there is a positive influence on the use of learning media on the science learning performance of class IV students. This research uses an experimental approach with a comparative design. The population and sample were 80 class IV students. Data collection uses documentation and test techniques, while the data analysis techniques used are descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis with the t-test formula. The results of research conducted in class IV of SD Negeri Mangkura III Makassar which consisted of the top 2 groups, namely the control group (class IV.A) and the experimental group (class IV.B) showed that there were differences in learning performance, especially after learning was carried out, where the group The controls were taught science learning in 4 meetings without using the same learning media once, while the experimental group was taught using learning media even though the characteristics were still very simple. There is also a positive impact of using learning media on student performance, where groups of students who are taught using media are more likely to show increased learning performance compared to groups of students who are taught not using learning media.
