Development of Cavendish Balance of Aids Based on Blender Application in Learning Physics

Abstract

The objectives of this research were: (1) to improve the learning outcome; (2) to differentiate the learning outcomes between experimental class and control class, and (3) to investigate the effect of learning motivation on learning outcome. This study was a research and development study (R&D) which consisted of three steps namely (1) Pre-study step; (2) Development step; and (3) Implementation step. The instruments of the study were as follow: (1) Expert assessment; (2) test; (3) student responses; (4) observation; and (5) learning motivation. The results of this study were as follows: (1) Learning process by using the Cavendish Balance of Aids based on Blender Application could improve the learning outcome of the students. The result was 28 students or 30% of the students were in middle category and 12 or 30% students were in high category for experimental class. While in the control class 32 students or 80% students were in middle category, l7 or 17,5% students in low category and 1 student or 2,5% student in high category. (2) There was a significant different between experimental class and control class result because the t calculate score was higher than the t table. (3) There was an effect of learning motivation on learning outcomes.
