Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini dilatarbelakangi oleh kondisi kurangnya kemampuan spasial siswa. Kartografi merupakan seni teknik dan proses dalam pembuatan peta. Peta merupakan representasi atau gambaran unsur-unsur atau kenampakan abstrak yang ada kaitannya dengan permukaan bumi. Dalam pemanfaatannya, seni kartografi dapat membantu siswa dalam hal pemahaman spasial (ruang). Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk melatih keterampilan siswa dalam menggambar berbagai kenampakan atau fenomena atau simbol (dapat berupa titik, garis dan area), melatih ketelitian menggambar peta, dan menambah pendalaman materi pembuatan peta. Kegiatan pengabdian ini dilaksanakan dengan metode pembelajaran praktikum terbimbing. Praktikum ini dilaksanakan dalam waktu sehari dan diikuti oleh 40 siswa. Hasil pengabdian ini menunjukkan respon positif, hal ini ini bisa dilihat dari antusiasme para siswa serta testimoni yang diberikan oleh siswa.Kata Kunci: Kemampuan Spasial; Seni Kartografi.AbstractThis community service is motivated by the lack of students' spatial ability. Cartography is an engineering art and a process in making maps. Maps are representations or depictions of abstract elements or features that are related to the surface of the earth. In its use, the art of cartography can help students in terms of spatial understanding (space). This dedication activity aims to train students' skills in drawing various appearances or phenomena or symbols (can be in the form of points, lines and areas), train the accuracy of drawing maps, and increase the depth of map making material. This service activity is carried out using guided practicum learning methods. This practicum was held in one day and attended by 40 students. The results of this service show a positive response, this can be seen from the enthusiasm of the students and the testimonies given by students.Keywords: Cartography; Spatial Ability.
Effective learning media can certainly have an impact on the success of learning outcomes. The aim of this paper to find out the implementation of interactive maps for student learning outcomes. The research design is an experiment method with a non-probability sampling type purposive sampling technique. There are two selected groups as sampling, Social Class 1 with 38 students as an experiment and Social Class 2 with 38 students as a control. The results showed the implementation of an interactive map for student learning outcomes, from the testing of hypothesis showed that t count = 9.43 and t table = 1.66, then we accept the alternative hypothesis and rejected the null hypothesis. Thus, the implementation of an interactive map can improve student learning outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
