Abstract
The use of technology in the process of learning activities can create a new atmosphere in biology learning, namely direct learning and learning using quipper school online. Learning like this is known as blended learning. The class used for the study was taken through cluster random sampling technique namely X MIPA 2 (experimental class) which implements blended learning and X MIPA 3 (control class) which implements a scientific approach. The implementation of blended learning on the topic of ecology is expected to be effective towards understanding concepts. Blended learning is effective on understanding concepts in ecological discussion because they fulfill three indicators, namely: (1) the average posttest of the experimental class 74.95> the mean posttest of the control class is 64.98, (2) The value of understanding the concepts to the two classes shows a significant difference with the values significance of 0,000<0,05, (3) Mean value of N-Gain experimental class 0.52> N-Gain mean value of control class 0.32. Thus, the implementation of blended learning in the ecology chapter in terms of understanding the concept is said to be effective.
Highlights
Rapid technological development is a sign of the era of globalization
The use of smartphones and internet access should be optimized in biology learning, for example, used to find learning resources related to the material being discussed by the teacher and used to access the learning management system (LMS) (García-peñalvo et al 2013: 893)
To see the fulfillment of the first blended learning effectiveness indicator by processing the pretest and posttest data into the two classes comparing the posttest value to the two classes and using descriptive statistics as the analysis
Summary
Along with the development of technology, the use of technology in the form of smartphones and internet access use is increasingly being used by the public, especially among adolescents who sit in junior high school (SMP) education and in high school (SMA) education This statement, supported by an internet service provider association survey institute, said smartphone usage continues to increase in the number of users from 2017 to 2019. According to González et al (2015: 32), students using smartphones in learning activities have a positive influence because it will make it easier for students to access learning materials from various sources and smartphones to be used as a tool to access learning media with the use of learning management systems (LMS) such as moodle, Edmodo, quipper school That, it can enrich learning resources and increase students' knowledge
