PENGEMBANGAN GAME BASED LEARNING MATA PELAJARAN DASAR-DASAR PENDIDIKAN KEJURUAN ELEMEN 6 UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR PESERTA DIDIK DI SMK NEGERI 1 SIDAYU GRESIK

DEVELOPMENT OF GAME BASED LEARNING FOR THE BASIC SUBJECT OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ELEMENT 6 TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AT STATE VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL 1 SIDEYU GRESIK

Permasalahan yang dihadapi dalam pembelajaran mata pelajaran Dasar-Dasar Pendidikan Kejuruan Elemen 6 di kelas X TITL SMK Negeri 1 Sidayu Gresik adalah rendahnya hasil belajar kognitif peserta didik. Kondisi ini ditunjukkan oleh nilai awal peserta didik yang belum mencapai capaian pembelajaran yang diharapkan, serta proses pembelajaran yang masih didominasi metode konvensional dengan penggunaan media yang kurang interaktif. Akibatnya, peserta didik cenderung pasif dan mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami konsep materi kabel listrik dan penyambungannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas penerapan media pembelajaran game based learning dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar kognitif peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Dasar-Dasar Pendidikan Kejuruan Elemen 6. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian dan pengembangan (Research and Development) dengan subjek penelitian sebanyak 36 peserta didik kelas X TITL. Pengumpulan data difokuskan pada tes hasil belajar kognitif melalui pre-test dan post-test. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan uji paired sample t-test dan perhitungan N-gain. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan hasil belajar kognitif pada seluruh peserta didik setelah penerapan media pembelajaran game based learning. Hasil uji paired sample t-test menunjukkan nilai Sig. (2-tailed) sebesar 0,000 (< 0,05) yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara nilai pre-test dan post-test. Nilai N-gain sebesar 0,47 berada pada kategori sedang, yang menunjukkan peningkatan pemahaman konsep secara bermakna. Pembahasan hasil penelitian menegaskan bahwa media pembelajaran berbasis permainan mampu membantu peserta didik memahami materi secara lebih aktif dan sistematis. Dengan demikian, media pembelajaran game based learning efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar kognitif peserta didik.

The problem faced in teaching the subject of Vocational Education Basics Element 6 in class X TITL at SMK Negeri 1 Sidayu Gresik is the low cognitive learning outcomes of students. This condition is indicated by the students' initial scores, which have not reached the expected learning outcomes, as well as the learning process, which is still dominated by conventional methods with the use of less interactive media. As a result, students tend to be passive and have difficulty understanding the concepts of electrical cables and their connections. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying game-based learning media in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes in the subject of Vocational Education Basics Element 6. The research method used is research and development with 36 students in class X TITL as research subjects. Data collection focused on cognitive learning outcome tests through pre-tests and post-tests. Data analysis was conducted using a paired sample t-test and N-gain calculations. The results showed that there was an increase in cognitive learning outcomes in all students after the implementation of game-based learning media. The paired sample t-test showed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (< 0.05), which means there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The N-gain value of 0.47 was in the moderate category, which indicated a significant increase in concept understanding. Discussion of the research results confirms that game-based learning media can help students understand the material more actively and systematically. Thus, game-based learning media is effective in improving students' cognitive learning outcomes.
