Students motivation and biology learning outcomes in e-learning based on Google classroom

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the motivation and learning outcomes of biology before and after using google classroom. The study used the One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample was taken by using the purposive sampling technique. A total of 30 students were involved as participants in this study. The instruments used were cognitive tests for the movement system material, motivation questionnaires and interviews. All instruments and learning tools were developed with validation from experts from Universitas Negeri Medan. The results showed an increase in motivation and learning outcomes after using google classrooms in the motion system material—improvement in learning outcomes in the high category based on N-Gain analysis. Statistical testing (paired t-test) also shows that learning outcomes before and after treatment are significantly different from sig. (2-tailed) 0.000 <0.05. These results indicate that the use of google classroom as a tool in e-learning can positively impact student motivation and learning outcomes.
