Application of Scientific-Based Electronic Natural Sciences Module to Improve Learning Outcomes in Knowledge Aspects of Vibration and Wave Materials in a Pandemic Period

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of human life today, especially in education, which requires all elements of education to keep the classroom active, even though it is done online. For this reason, this study aims to determine the effect of applying scientific-based electronic natural science modules to improve learning outcomes in aspects of students' knowledge of vibration and wave material. The method used was an experimental method with a posttest-only control group design. The data collection instrument employed was multiple-choice test questions totaling 20 items. The sample in this study consisted of 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. The data analysis utilized was in the Mann-Whitney U test to determine the differences in the mean posttest score between the experimental and control classes. The results revealed that the learning outcomes of the knowledge aspect in the experimental class were better than the control class. Based on the descriptive analysis results, the mean posttest score of the experimental class was higher than the control class. In addition, the application of scientific-based electronic natural science modules improves the learning outcomes of students' knowledge aspects better.
