The Use of Multimedia as an Effort to Improve Elementary Teacher Education Study Program College Students’ Comprehension Ability and Creative Thinking Skills in Following Science Study Courses

Abstract

The research objective was to improve the understanding and creative thinking skills of elementary teacher education college student as prospective teachers in following science courses. The research design used is to make college student groups into small groups. During the learning process, observations about college student cooperation during learning with multimedia media were carried out to assess their understanding and creative thinking skills. The results of the observations of each cycle were evaluated as material for reflection in the next cycle to improve college student understanding and creative thinking skills in accordance with predetermined targets. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive quantitative. From the results of the T-test, it was found that there were significant differences. This means that understanding of concepts and Science Process Skills increases after prospective teacher college student experience the science learning process using multimedia learning media. From the results, the average value of understanding the concept increased from 53.61 % to 89.78%. and science process skills increased the average value from 43.57 to 87.32. 92% of college student gave a positive response, namely agreeing and strongly agreeing that the science lecture process using multimedia learning media can improve science process skills and understanding of material in science subjects for elementary teacher education college student

Peningkatan Efektivitas Pembelajaran Melalui Penguatan Supervisi Akademik Dan Disiplin Kerja

“…Efektivitas pembelajaran juga akan tercapai apabila guru menggunakan metode pembelajaran yang tepat dan materi yang memang dibutuhkan siswa, walaupun guru memiliki kriteria atau prinsip yang berbeda-beda itu semua bertujuan agar efektivitas tercapai dan menghasilkan siswa yang berkualitas. Banyaknya sekolah di Indonesia yang masih mengembangkan metode belajar konvensional membuat siswa sulit untuk mengembangkan dan menguasai keterampilan abad 21 (Suchyadi, Safitri, & Sunardi, 2020). Berdasarkan data UNESCO dalam Global Education Monitoring (GEM) pada tahun 2016, pendidikan di Indonesia menempati peringkat ke-10 dari 14 negara berkembang dan kualitas guru menempati urutan 14 dari 14 negara berkembang di dunia.…”

Analisis Penerapan Pembelajaran Online Pada Siswa

“…Hal ini dimaksudkan agar proses pembelajaran akan berlangsung secara lebih efektif dan efisien. Selain proses pembelajaran dan media pembelajaran, bahan ajar juga memiliki peranan yang tidak kalah pentingnya demi tercapainya tujuan pembelajaran (Suchyadi, Safitri, & Sunardi, 2020). Pernyataan terkait bahan ajar dikemukakan Susanto (2013 : 17) bahwa bahan ajar adalah seperangkat sarana atau alat pembelajaran yang berisikan materi pembelajaran, metode, batasan-batasan, dan cara mengevaluasi yang didesain secara sistematis dan menarik dalam rangka mencapai tujuan yang diharapkan, yaitu mencapai kompetensi dan subkompetensi dengan segala kompleksitasnya.…”

University learners’ utilisation of online videos in a general chemistry course

“…The concepts in chemistry courses are abstract; thus, it becomes difficult to build relationships between these concepts and the real world (Chen and Liu 2020). Learners often experience difficulties in comprehending the abstract concepts covered in chemistry (Suchyadi, Safitri, and Sunardi 2020), and as a result, laboratory instruction is recommended to build scientific knowledge through use of concrete materials (Setiawati et al 2021).…”
