Improving Student Learning Outcomes Using Powtoon Media Apps

Abstract

21st-century learning requires us to utilize technology to enhance learning. Powtoon is one of the media that can be used. The aim of this research is to demonstrate that the utilization of Powtoon video media can enhance student learning outcomes regarding the excretory system. This research utilizes a pre-experimental method employing a one-group pretest-posttest design. This research involved 80 students who were divided into three groups: the upper group, the middle group, and the lower group. Data collection techniques include observation, tests, and questionnaires. The data analysis technique employs a quantitative analysis approach. The research results show that: 1). the learning outcomes in the top group showed an N-gain of 0.68. 2) The learning outcomes in the medium group had an N-gain of 0.57. 3) The learning outcomes in the top group showed an N-gain of 0.66. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of Powtoon video media can enhance student learning outcomes. We recommend that if Powtoon media is used and created with greater creativity, it can effectively support the learning process.
