Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of Edmodo-based E-learning on the participation and understanding of elementary school teacher candidate in science 1 biology courses. This study used a quasi-experimental method using a non-equivalent control group design. The sample of this study was 49 elementary school teacher candidates in semester 2 of PGRI Yogyakarta University. The data collection technique used a participatory questionnaire instrument and a pretest-posttest comprehension test. The results of the Independent Sample t-Test show that the value of Sig. for the participation variable of 0.004 <0.05 and the Sig. for the understanding variable of 0.005 <0.05. While, the MANOVA test results show the value of Sig. for the participation variable of 0.004 <0.05 and the Sig. for the understanding variable of 0.005 <0.05. This means that there are differences in the increase in participation and understanding of elementary school teacher candidate after using Edmodo-based E-learning. In addition, the application of Edmodo-based E-learning also has a positive effect on the participation and understanding of elementary school teacher candidate on science topics. Edmodo-based e-learning makes elementary school teacher candidates more active in participating and easier in understanding science lecture material 1. Keywords: edmodo-based e-learning, participation of elementary school teacher candidate, natural science understanding. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh E-learning berbasis Edmodo terhadap partisipasi dan pemahaman calon guru Sekolah Dasar pada mata kuliah IPA 1 materi biologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen semu dengan menggunakan desain penelitian non-equivalent control group design . Sampel penelitian ini adalah 49 calon guru Sekolah Dasar semester 2 Universitas PGRI Yogyakarta. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan instrumen angket partisipasi dan tes pemahaman melalui pretest-posttest. Hasil Uji Independent Sample t-Test menunjukkan nilai Sig. untuk variabel partisipasi sebesar 0.004 < 0.05 dan nilai Sig. untuk variabel pemahaman sebesar 0.005 < 0.05. Sedangkan hasil uji MANOVA menunjukkan nilai Sig. untuk variabel partisipasi sebesar 0.004 < 0.05 dan nilai Sig. untuk variabel pemahaman sebesar 0.005 < 0.05. Hal ini berarti bahwa terdapat perbedaan peningkatan partisipasi dan pemahaman calon guru Sekolah Dasar setelah menggunakan E-learning berbasis Edmodo. Selain itu, penerapan E-learning berbasis Edmodo juga berpengaruh positif terhadap partisipasi dan pemahaman calon guru Sekolah Dasar pada topik IPA. E-learning berbasis Edmodo menjadikan calon guru Sekolah Dasar lebih aktif dalam berpartisipasi dan lebih mudah dalam memahami materi perkuliahan IPA 1. Kata kunci: e-learning berbasis edmodo, partisipasi calon guru SD, pemahaman IPA.

Summary

Introduction

Natural science is a branch of science concerned with the natural phenomenon in our surroundings. It aims to encourage people’s awareness about science, to make people realize that the world development continues to grow, it needs adaptation by improving self-ability (Mukhlishoh & Khisbiyah, 2015). Natural Science at college becomes one of the courses that must be taken by the elementary school teacher candidate. The basic concept of Natural Science can be a background of knowledge for them in elementary school learning activities. The fact that the elementary school teacher candidate from the educational background of vocational high school and senior high school with the study concentration of social science leads to minimum basic competence of Natural.
