Herbarium Media: Enhancing Science Learning Outcomes for Grade 4 Students on Leaf Bone Shape

Abstract

The material to be studied is closely related to the surrounding environment, so that learning resources that will be used can easily be obtained from the surrounding environment. it can be concluded that natural science or science is a science that studies the state of nature and phenomena that occur in nature that can be captured by the five human senses. the stages required in the design use a quantitative approach (experimental) with the type of Pre-Experimental Design (nondesign) and use the One Group Pretest Posttest Design method. In this study there are two variables, namely the independent variable (X) using the experimental method using herbarium media and the dependent variable, namely (Y) student learning outcomes. based on the results of research that has been done at SDN Gelam 1 is still minimal. caused by factors that affect one of them because there are still limited learning media used so that it affects the absorption of students in learning. The population and sample were all students in class IV SDN Gelam 1, totaling 25 students consisting of 14 male students and 11 female students. with a total sampling technique of sampling. Data analysis using t test. The results showed that the dried plant herbarium media could affect the learning outcomes of fourth grade students at SDN Gelam 1. with a sig value of 0.048 <0.05, the conclusion was H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. Thus the level of influence of Herbarium media in improving cognitive learning outcomes of fourth grade students at SDN Gelam 1, amounted to 83.8% by providing an understanding of the media to be used. it can be concluded that there is an effect of applying the herbarium media experiment method to improve science learning outcomes for fourth grade students at Gelam 1 elementary school.
