The Effect of Animated Learning Media Using Powtoon on Student Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This research was conducted to examine the impact of using Powtoon animated learning media on the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in the subject of Social Studies at Muhammadiyah 5 Porong Elementary School, which previously had limited use of animation in the teaching process. The research method employed was quantitative research with a preexperimental design, specifically the one-group Pre-Test-Post-Test design. The subjects involved in this study were 17 fifth-grade students, selected using saturation sampling. Data collection was done through tests to measure the influence of implementing animated learning media on the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students, involving both a pre-test and a post-test consisting of a 20-item multiple-choice questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using hypothesis testing, specifically the paired sample t-test, with a significance level of 0.000, indicating that the p-value was < 0.05. This result suggests a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of animated learning media has a significant impact on student learning outcomes.
