Lab Kit Development to Improve Student’s Attitudes and Achievements in Distance Learning

Abstract

A shortcoming of distance learning is the lack of substantive integration of hands-on activities into online classrooms. We conducted a research and development study, where the lab kits and tutorial videos were sent to students to perform experiments in their own homes. We planned, tested, developed, improved, and implemented kits into experimental distance learning. This research was conducted to improve previous studies in linear subjects. Findings have implications for distance learning in rural areas that have limitations. Furthermore, our findings illustrate the potential amplifying effect of this learning environment configuration for science teachers. Thirty-two students, four experts, and three science teachers participated in this research. The product’ validity and feasibility were obtained by descriptive analysis of experts and students' assessment data. Students’ learning motivation and activities were observed and analyzed descriptively. Students’ cognitive learning outcomes were obtained by analyzing pretest and posttest data using paired sample t-test. This learning helped students achieve intellectual goals by significantly improving students’ learning motivation, activities, and cognitive outcomes.

Improving Students' Activities and Achievement Using the Themed Worksheets Through Discovery Learning

“…Student activities in learning stimulate and develop students' talents and hone students' abilities in critical thinking so that students are trained to solve problems in everyday life [35], arouse learning motivation, increase interaction so that it creates a sense of pleasure when learning [36], affects students' critical thinking skills [37], and affects student learning achievements [38]. In addition, student activities in learning also train students' abilities to master various social attitudes that are indispensable in facing global challenges, even in limited conditions such as learning during a pandemic [39]. The improvement in activity tends to be slow but reached the very good criteria in Cycle 3.…”
