Abstract

This research aimed to determine the increase in students' interest in learning science by studying the concept of material classification and its changes, through mobile learning learning media. The research method uses a pretest-posttest control group design with quantitative data types. Data on students' learning interests was collected through distributing learning interest questionnaires before and after learning using mobile learning media. The research instrument was prepared based on ARCS learning interest aspects (attention, relevance, self confidence, and satisfaction). Data were analyzed descriptively using a Likert scale and inferentially using the Independent Sample T-Test. The results of the research showed that students' interest in learning had increased in the experimental class with a good category of 83% and a very good 17%. Inferentially, a significant increase in interest in learning was obtained. These results provide the conclusion that the application of mobile learning media has a positive impact on increasing student interest in learning better in learning material classification and its changes in class VII Junior High School.

Abstract

This research aims to improve students' cognitive learning outcomes by using a contextual approach oriented towards traditional kelong fishing gear. This research method uses a quasi-experiment with a non-equivalent post-test only group design. The population in this study was class VIII students, totaling 79 people. The population came from three classes, of which 2 classes were then selected for the research sample, namely class VIII-1 as the experimental group and class VIII-2 as the control group. The research was carried out in four meetings. After learning is complete, students are given a posttest in the form of a cognitive learning outcomes test instrument with 25 multiplechoice questions. The average score data on student learning outcomes shows differences between the experimental class and the control class. The experimental class obtained an average score of 72.90 in the good category, while the control class obtained an average score of 59.37 in the quite good category. Then, based on the independent sample T-Test, the significance results were 0.000 < 0.05. Therefore, learning with a contextual approach oriented towards traditional kelong fishing gear is effectively used to improve cognitive science learning outcomes for students at SMPN 1 Lingga Utara.
