Blended learning model: A model that can increase student learning outcomes on invertebrate materials

Abstract

The positive impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of education towards technology. The present study aims to describe the effect of a learning model using a digital technology, called blended learning, on the students' learning outcomes on invertebrate material in class X science at MAN 2 Tasikmalaya. The research used quasi experiment with Pre-test Post-test research design in both control and experimental classes. The experimental class came from class X IPA 1 and class X IPA 2 as the control class. Research on learning outcomes is only limited to looking at the cognitive aspects of students. The study used observation sheets, pre-test and post-test questions and student response questionnaires as research instruments. The research reveals that the employability of Blended learning model observed from the teacher's and students' activity in the control and experimental classes was 88.5%. Student learning outcomes in the experimental class increased higher than the control class with the experimental class N-gain value of 0.72 in the high category. While the N-gain value for the control class is 0.65 in the medium category. The average response questionnaire of students in the experimental class was 2.81, which belongs to medium category. Testing the hypothesis of the blended learning model with the T test gained 2,158 > 2,007. This shows that t count > t tables. It means H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted, so that there is a significant influence between the blended learning model on the students' learning outcomes on invertebrate material in class X IPA at MAN 2 Tasikmalaya.
