The Development of Learning Management System Using Edmodo

Abstract

The development of Learning Management System (LMS) can be used as an online learning media by managing the teacher in delivering the material and giving a task. This study aims to: 1) to know the validity of learning devices using LMS with Edmodo, 2) know the student’s response to LMS implementation using Edmodo, and 3) to know the difference of the learning outcome that is students who learned by using LMS with Edmodo and Direct Learning Model (DLM). This research method is quasi experimental by using control group pretest-posttest design. The population of the study was the student at SMKN 1 Sidoarjo. Research sample X TITL 1 class as control goup, and X TITL 2 class as experimental group. The researcher used scale rating to analyze the data validity and students’ respon, and t-test was used to examine the difference of learning outcomes with significant 0.05. The result of the research shows: 1) the average learning device validity use Edmodo 88.14%, lesson plan validity is 92.45%, pretest-posttest validity is 89.15%, learning material validity is 84.64%, and affective and psychomotor-portfolio observation sheets validity is 86.33 included very good criteria or very suitable to be used for research; 2) the result of students’ response questionnaire after taught by using LMS with Edmodo 86.03% in very good category and students agreed that Edmodo can be used in learning; and 3) the learning outcome of LMS by using Edmodo with DLM are: a) there are significant difference of the student cognitive learning outcome which is taught by using Edmodo with the student who use DLM. The average of student learning outcome that is taught LMS using Edmodo is 81.69 compared to student with DLM outcome 76.39, b) there is difference of affective learning outcome that is taught LMS using Edmodo compared to student using DLM. The average of student learning outcomeof affective that is taught LMS by using Edmodo is 83.50 compared students who use DLM 80.34, and c) there is difference of student psychomotor learning outcome that is taught with LMS using Edmodo compared student who use DLM. The average of student learning outcome that is taught with LMS using Edmodo is 85.60 compared to student who uses DLM 82.31.
