Charta media influence on integrated science learning difficulties of coastal students

Abstract

This study was conducted to observe the charta media effect on learning difficulties of Integrated Science in Junior High School Students. Learning difficulties can be seen from the low motivation and learning outcomes. The charta media manufacture uses waste materials, such as plastic bottles and drink pipettes. The method used was a pretest and posttest control group design, with the samples number for each group was 25 people. The statistical tests used were descriptive and inferential using SPSS statistical software. The results showed that charta media had a positive effect on motivation and learning outcomes. Both on learning motivation and learning outcomes, there was an increase in the average value. The mean value for learning motivation increased from 54.8±9.43 to 84.20±20.19. The average value for learning outcomes increased from 54.40±17.04 to 75.5±12.44. Based on the results of the inferential test, it shows that the data is normally distributed and homogeneous.
