The effectiveness of E-learning based learning models to improve primary school students’ numeracy ability during the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

Numeracy ability is the ability to apply number concepts and counting skills in everyday life, this ability is very important for every individual, especially elementary school students. In this era of the covid-19 pandemic, many students find it difficult to learn, especially learning about numeracy online. The E-learning model is an alternative to improve students’ numeracy skills in the era of the covid-19 pandemic. For this reason, researchers want to find out how effective the video-assisted E-learning model and Microsoft power point are in increasing the numeracy skills of elementary school students. This study uses quantitative research methods with the type of research used is the experimental type of the one group pretest-posttest design. The data analysis technique used is the paired sample t-test, the results of the paired sample t-test, namely the value of sig (2-tailed) is 0.000 < 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is an average difference between the numeracy skills of the pre-test results and post test results. Thus, the video-assisted e-learning model and microsoft power point are quite effective in helping to improve students’ numeracy skills. The results of this study can be a new alternative for teachers when teaching numeracy material in the era of the covid-19 pandemic. Moreover, this numeracy ability is one of the Minimum Competency Assessment tests in Indonesia.
