An Analysis Conceptual Understanding and Student’s Learning Self-Reliance in the New Normal Era Assisted by Photomath on SLETV Material

Abstract

This study is purposed to determine the student's conceptual understanding and learning self-reliance in New Normal era assisted by Photomath on SLETV materials. This study implements quantitative approach of quasi-experimental design and One Group Pre test-Post test Design. The population of this study is all 7 th grade students in SMPN 3 Jeumpa, Bireuen. The sample is selected using purposive sampling, they are 29 of 7 th grade students in SMPN 3 Jeumpa, Bireuen who attend when this study is conducted. The instrument adopted to measure the student's understanding level is a test. Meanwhile, to determine the student's learning self-reliance, this study uses questionnaire. N-Gain is calculated to know the student's conceptual understanding level, and the percentage technique is also applied to determine the student's self-reliance level. The research findings show that teaching and learning process assisted by Photomath on SLETV materials can improve the student's conceptual understanding, although the improvement is still considered in the low category. Besides, the improvement of the student's conceptual understanding achieves the middle category. Additionally, 80% students agree that Photomath use can create the students more self-reliant in mathematics teaching and learning process, particularly on SLETV materials.
