A Comparison of Biology Pre-service Teacher Learning Achievement Using Offline and Online Method in Biology Learning Evaluation Course

Abstract

Biology learning evaluation course is a compulsory subject for undergraduate biology education students because it prepares students to design learning assessments when they become teachers later. Regularly, offline learning used discussion and problem-solving methods face-to-face. However, with the pandemic of Covid-19 since 2020, learning was to be online; began after the midterm exam. This study aims to compare the learning outcome of prospective biology teacher students when participating in offline and online learning. This research is quantitative-comparative research which a population is 164 students. Data were analyzed using SPSS with paired sample t-test technique, and used Wilcoxon test (non-parametric test), because the normality test was not met. The results showed a significance value of 0.328 > 0.050 which means that H0 is accepted. To be concluded, there is no difference in the learning achievement of biology pre-service teachers in this course using offline and online methods.
