Cognitive ability improvement in learning resource development course through implementation of life-based learning models using LMS

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to prove that the implementation of a life based learning model in the learning resource development course can improve students’ cognitive abilities. The life based learning model was chosen because it was in accordance with the paradigm shift of the XXI century using the Learning Management System (LMS) as a learning medium. The selection of LMS as a medium also adapts the characteristics of students who are included in Z generation as objects of learning. The implementation of the LMS-based life based learning model was carried out in the learning resource development subject with 34 respondent of Informatics Engineering Education students in Universitas Negeri Malang. This research uses pre-experimental design research method with one-group pretest-posttest design model. The data obtained in this study comes from student learning outcomes. That data then analyzed using a different test (t-test). The results showed that with the implementation of a life based learning model using LMS, there was a significant increase in cognitive abilities as indicated by the results of different tests obtained between the pre-test and post-test.
