Interest and learning achievement of mathematics on blended learning in West Papua

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to find out the interests and learning outcomes of students through blended learning. This research is quantitative and descriptive. The subjects of this study were thirty-one students in the second semester of the Mathematics Education Study Program at Muhammadiyah University of Education, West Papua, Indonesia. Data collection techniques were carried out by tests and non-tests, and the instruments used were interest in learning questionnaires and learning achievement tests, as well as documentation. Learning outcomes in general indicate that the average student score is seventy-six, which indicates that the interpretation of student scores is "AB," or 3.50, and the average indicator of competency achievement in the overall integral calculus course is in the high category. The results of the total analysis of the interest in learning questionnaire obtained 90.91% results in the remarkably high category. The average percentage of each interest indicator is in the "very high" category range. The results of the study show that blended learning can arouse students' interest and attention and have a positive impact on learning outcomes, so when applying blended learning, all supporting components must be considered to create an optimal learning experience.
