The Effectiveness of The Blended Learning Model Application to Student Learning Outcomes in The Science Study for Elementary School

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the application of the blended learning model on the learning outcomes of class VI students in science lessons. This research uses experimental research methods. The subjects in this study were students of class VIC Private Elementary School Nurul Huda Desa Katonsari Demak with a total of 28 students as the experimental class and Class VIA Public Elementary School No. 2 Sidomulyo Wonosalam Demak with 22 students as the control class. The results of the N-Gain score test showed that the experimental class (by applying the blended learning model) obtained an average N-Gain score of 71.88%, which was included in the 'Quite effective' category. Meanwhile, the application of the conventional model to the control class obtained an average N-Gain score of 39.30% in the category of 'Ineffective'. While the effectiveness test uses the paired sample t-test, it is known that the significance value (2-tailed) is 0.000 <0.05. In addition to the significance value, the value of t count> t-table is 26.002> 2.052. From these results, it can be concluded that the application of the blended learning model significantly impacts student learning outcomes in science lessons in grade VI elementary schools.
