Simulation Learning Methods for Students’ Understanding of Flood Disaster Preparedness Materials

Abstract

Students need knowledge about prevention and preparedness. This study aims to see the learning process of the flood disaster, students' responsiveness to learning with the Simulation Learning method, and to see see to see what is learning students who get learning using the Simulation Learning method and student learning outcomes who get learning without using the method. The objectives of this research are (1) Knowing the implementation process of learning and understanding students, (2) Evaluating the effectiveness of learning, (3) Knowing knowledge in learning problem flood disaster mitigation. The population in this study were students of class XI SMA Negeri 8 Semarang which consisted of two classes that could be measured by 73 students. Samples were taken using purposive sampling technique. Collecting data using the method of documentation, observation, observation, and questionnaires. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive qualitative and descriptive proportions. The results of this study were (1) The implementation of learning and student understanding went very well with a score of 95.49%, (2) The effectiveness of learning in the experimental class which obtained the cognitive aspects of learning outcomes score of 87.77% including very high criteria, the affective aspect of 90, 74% including very high criteria, and cognitive aspects of 90.74% including very high criteria. (3) There is no security in implementing flood disaster mitigation learning.
