Effectiveness Of Use Of Interactive E-Poster History Learning Media In Increasing History Awareness

Abstract

Historical awareness is one of the historical thinking skills that students must have. Historical awareness is related to the identity of a nation related to the past. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of using interactive E-Poster media in increasing students' historical awareness. This research uses the Pretest-Posttest Control Group experimental method which consists of an experimental group and a control group. The sample used consisted of 50 class XII high school students selected using random sampling technique. The data instruments used are the results of pretests and posttests carried out by students. The results of this research indicate that there is a significant difference in students' historical awareness before and after using the E-Poster learning media. The T test results show a significance value of 0.000 <0.005 with the conclusion that there is an influence of the use of interactive e-posters on students' historical awareness. This increase can be seen in the N-Gain test results which show a score of 0.75 or 75% with the assumption of an increase in students' historical awareness using e-poster media by 75%. The conclusion of this research is that the use of e-poster learning media is effective in history learning, especially in increasing students' historical awareness.
