Increasing the Mastery of Concept Science Learning Using Stereoscopic 3D Images

Abstract

This paper presents a study of the use of stereoscopic 3D images in science learning in elementary schools to improve mastery of concepts science. Science learning is learning that students like. Unfortunately science learning in elementary schools has difficulties, namely when giving abstract science learning concepts to students. Students in primary school age are still in the stage of concrete operational thinking, they cannot understand the concept of abstract learning. Sterepscopic 3D images can help students understand abstract concepts into concrete concepts. The research method using quasi-experimental aims to compare mastery of science concepts with groups that use stereoscopic 3D images and groups that not use stereoscopic 3D images. The results show that using stereoscopic 3D images can improve mastery of concepts in science learning, stereoscopic 3D images provide a real and interesting experience for students to learn science, without having to look for real objects. In addition, stereoscopic 3D images make easier for students to learn that it is difficult to find in the school environment.
