The Influence of Using Concrete Media on Style Material on the Learning Outcomes and Collaboration Skills of Grade IV Students of Mangliawan 1 Public Elementary School
Abstrak
Learning is the process of imparting knowledge and experience from teachers to students through appropriate media adjustments methods and models. This process is not only aimed at improving learning outcomes but also to develop 21st century skills such as collaboration skills. With the right use of learning media students can develop cognitive aspects as well as social skills in an integrated manner. The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of concrete media on style materials on science learning outcomes in the cognitive realm and collaboration skills of grade IV students. Through a quantitative approach with descriptive and inferential analysis it was found that concrete media not only improves understanding of concepts but also develops collaborative skills. The results of the analysis showed an increase in the average learning outcomes of the control class from 41.33 to 55.83 while the experimental class from 46.33 to 70 with N-Gain of 22.8% (low category) and 43.2% (medium category) respectively. In collaboration skills the control class obtained an average score of 76.73 while the experimental class reached 82 with the highest indicator in the form of direct interaction with the media (83.33%). The average overall collaboration skills of the experimental class reached 81.22% and were classified as very good. Hypothesis testing through the Paired and Independent Sample T-Test showed a significance of 0.000 ( lt 0.05) indicating a significant difference in learning outcomes. The Mann-Whitney test on collaboration skills showed a significance of 0.023 ( lt 0.05) indicating that the effectiveness of concrete media is higher than that of conventional media. Meanwhile the MANOVA test showed a Wilks Lambda value of 0.743 with a significance of 0.000 which proves the significant influence of concrete media on learning outcomes and collaboration skills simultaneously. Based on Dale s Cone of Experience Theory the more real the learning media used the more real the learners understanding of a concept will be. Collaboration that occurs between students is also related to things that require students to interact with something real so with this Dale s Cone of Experience theory shows that real collaboration will make it easier for students to be able to learn as well as understand abstract concepts and more meaningful experiences.
