Does the use of e-learning media with guided discovery method affect students’ understanding of mathematics concept?

Abstract

This study aims to discover whether the use of e-learning media with guided discovery method can affect students’ understanding of mathematics concept. The design of this study is quasi-experiment using two classes, namely the experimental class and the control class. The research subjects in this study were 79 eighth grade students. The instrument used is multiple choice tests of understanding mathematical concept. Learning in the experimental class uses e-learning media with guided discovery method while learning in the control class used guided discovery method only. The test results reveal that the understanding of students in mathematics concepts in the experimental class was better than that of the control class. Thus, it could be concluded that the use of e-learning media with guided discovery method does affects the understanding of students’ mathematics concept.
