PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN MEDIA GOOGLE EARTH TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN SPASIAL SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR KELAS V PADA MATERI KENAMPAKAN ALAM DAN BUATAN

THE EFFECT OF USING GOOGLE EARTH MEDIA ON THE SPATIAL ABILITY OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS CLASS V IN NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL APPEARANCE MATERIALS

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan media google earth terhadap kemampuan spasial siswa kelas V pada materi kenampakan alam dan buatan. Jenis penelitian ini yaitu kuantitatif. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kuasi eksperimen menggunakan non-equivalent control group design. Populasi pada penelitian ini siswa kelas V SDN Barengkrajan I. Sampel penelitian kelas VC sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas VD sebagai kelas kontrol. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes (pre test dan post test). Teknik analisis data penelitian ini meliputi uji normalitas, uji homogenitas, uji hipotesis menggunakan uji t-tes, dan uji N-Gain. Hasil penelitian analisis uji t memperoleh nilai t _hitung 3,121 > t _tabel 2, 015, maka Ha diterima. Selain itu, hasil analisis uji N-Gain di kelas eksperimen yauti 0,71 dan di kelas kontrol 0,43, sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan media google earth berpengaruh signifikant terhadap kemampuan spasial siswa.

This study aims to determine the effect of using google earth media on the spatial abilities of fifth grade students on natural and artificial features. This type of research is quantitative. The method of research to be used is a quasi-experimental design using a non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study was fifth grade students at SDN Barengkrajan I. The sample was the VC class as the experimental class and the VD class as the control class. Data collection techniques using tests (pre test and post test). Data analysis techniques in this study include normality test, homogeneity test, hypothesis testing using the t-test, and the N-Gain test. The results of the t test analysis obtained the value of t count 3.121 > t table 2.015, then Ha is accepted. In addition, the results of the N-Gain test analysis in the experimental class were 0.70 and in the control class were 0.43, so it can be concluded that the use of google earth media has a significant effect on students' spatial abilities.
