The Use of Relations and Functions Games Based on Balanced Design in Mathematics Subjects to Improve Student Learning Outcomes

Abstract

Game Relations and Functions are digital game-based learning in junior high school mathematics subjects. In this study will discuss how to use the game Relationships and Functions that have been designed using the Balanced Design method. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with the One group Pretest Post-test design. A total of 40 junior high school students were involved in this study to determine differences in student learning outcomes in the cognitive domain before and after using the Relationship and Function games. The instrument used is a type of multiple choice objective test of 20 questions with details of 8 questions related to relations material and 12 questions related to functions material. The results showed that there were differences in the improvement of student learning outcomes before and after using the game Relations and Functions in Mathematics subjects.
