The Impact of Handbooks on the Concept Understanding and Learning Interests of Students on the Concept of Reaction Rate

Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of pocket books on conceptual understanding and student interest in learning. The research method used is quasi experimental using the nonequivalent control group design. The population in this study were students of class XI MIPA SMA Negeri 1 Jaya. The number of samples consisted of 60 people, each class consisting of 30 students. The research instruments used were test questions and questionnaires. The data analysis technique used the conceptual understanding through the N-Gain test and the independent sample t-test, while the interest in learning used the percentage formula. The results of the N-gain test for understanding the concept obtained that the average experimental class was higher than the control class, each class belonging to the criteria for moderate improvement. The results of the independent sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the students' conceptual understanding of the experimental class and the control class. The results of interest in learning from each subscale: family support, teacher influence, and learning experience in class in the experimental class obtained a very high category. Meanwhile, on the subscale the attitudes of friends towards chemistry learning and the influence of informal learning were high. For the control class, the category obtained on the family support subscale is high, while the subscale for friends' attitudes towards chemistry learning, teacher influence, informal learning experiences, and classroom learning experiences is in the moderate category. The average percentage of learning interest in the experimental class was obtained in the very high category, while the control class was in the medium category. The conclusion of this study is that the impact of using pocket books on chemistry learning can improve students' understanding of concepts and interest in learning.

Virtual Multimedia Assisted Learning with Assignment Models to Improve the Competence of Electrical Protection Systems

“…Students with high-level concept mastery are proven to be able to achieve superior learning outcomes than students with low-level concept mastery. This finding proves the importance of mastery of concepts in supporting the competence to analyze disturbances and design electrical protection systems, as has been proven through Sriadhi's research [4], and the field of science, as evidenced by the research of Handayani et al [24]. Without mastery of concepts, it will be difficult for students to be able to design electrical protection systems.…”

Analysis of Student Learning Difficulties in Plants Physiology Online Lectures During Pandemic of COVID–19

“…Students' success in understanding subjects is influenced by high motivation and interest. With motivation and interest, the psychological state of students tends to pay attention to a particular object or topic so that they always have a desire to repeat the material and enjoy studying it (Handayani et al, 2021).…”

Pengembangan Buletin Berbasis Sosio-Scientific Issue sebagai Inovasi Media Pembelajaran Materi Pencemaran Udara

“…Analisis uji kelayakan media dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk melihat dan mengetahui tanggapan siswa terhadap kelayakan media dan untuk mengetahui kelebihan serta kekurangan yang ada di dalam media buletin yang mana telah dikembangkan melalui uji validitas atau penilaian kelayakan media (Handayani et al, 2021). Jika hasil kelayakan media mendapat respon baik maka komponen yang ada pada media buletin dapat dipertahankan.…”
