PENGARUH METODE PEMBELAJARAN CAL BERBASIS LABORATORIUM VIRTUAL DENGAN PENDEKATAN SAINTIFIK SEBAGAI MEDIA PENINGKATAN MOTIVASI DAN HASIL BELAJAR PESERTA DIDIK

THE EFFECT OF CAL LEARNING METHODS BASED ON VIRTUAL LABORATORY WITH A SCIENTIFIC APPROACH AS A MEDIA FOR INCREASING MOTIVATION AND STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan (1) peningkatan motivasi dan hasil belajar peserta didik melalui penerapan metode Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) berbasis laboratorium virtual dengan pendekatan saintifik pada materi energi, (2) keterlaksanaan pembelajaran, dan (3) respon peserta didik terhadap pembelajaran tersebut. Jenis penelitian ini adalah pre-experimental design dengan rancangan one-group pretest-posttest. Subjek penelitian adalah 30 peserta didik kelas VIII E di SMPN 1 Sukodadi, Kabupaten Lamongan. Teknik pengumpulan data meliputi tes (pretest dan posttest), angket motivasi belajar berbasis model ARCS, angket respon peserta didik, dan lembar observasi keterlaksanaan pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan rata-rata skor pretest sebesar 38,33 meningkat menjadi 86,33 pada posttest, dengan persentase ketuntasan klasikal sebesar 96,67%. Nilai N-gain sebesar 0,77 menunjukkan peningkatan hasil belajar dalam kategori tinggi. Motivasi belajar meningkat dari kategori “Sedang” sebesar 70% menjadi “Sangat Tinggi” sebesar 73,33%. Keterlaksanaan pembelajaran terlaksana sangat baik dengan rata-rata persentase sebesar 98,96%. Respon peserta didik terhadap pembelajaran juga sangat positif dengan rata-rata persentase 87% dalam kategori “Sangat Tinggi”.

This study aims to describe (1) Increasing motivation and learning outcomes of students through the application of Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) methods based on virtual laboratories with a scientific approach to energy material, (2) learning implementation, and (3) students' responsesabout the learning.This type of research is a pre-experimental design with the design of one-group pretest-posttest. The research subjects were 30 class VIII E students in SMPN 1 Sukodadi, Lamongan Regency. Data collection techniques include tests (pretest and posttest), learning motivation questionnaires based on ARCS models, student response questionnaires, and learning observation sheets. The results showed the average pretest score of 38.33 increased to 86.33 in posttest, with a percentage of classical completeness of 96.67%. The N-Gain value of 0.77 shows an increase in learning outcomes in the high category. Learning motivation increased from the "medium" category by 70% to "very high" by 73.33%. The implementation of learning is very good with an average percentage of 98.96%. The response of students to learning is also very positive with an average percentage of 87% in the "very high" category.
