Students’ Conceptual Understanding and Self-Directed Learning on Blended Learning

Abstract

Learning physics requires understanding the concept so that students can analyze the relationship between concepts to explain a natural phenomenon. However, students need clarification and help to understand and analyze physics concepts. So to train to understand, students need self-directed learning. This study aims to analyze students' conceptual understanding, learning independence, and the effect of student learning independence on students' conceptual understanding of straight motion in blended learning. The sample in this study was 22 students of class X. The method in this study was a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest group design. The instrument used in data collection is a test. Data were analyzed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon test and the one-sample T-test. The study results show that blended learning can significantly improve students' conceptual comprehension abilities and learning independence in straight-motion material. It is because students can learn independently during the learning process, so they are more active, creative, and independent in understanding a concept. Learning with blended learning influences understanding concepts, and understanding concepts affects students' self-directed learning.

The Effectiveness of Robot Learning Media to Support Self-Directed Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic

“…Learning media serves as a tool to explain the learning process so that the message conveyed can meet the purpose of a learning process. Learning media is an essential component or material in implementing education and learning so that the accuracy of the use of media impacts student learning outcomes (Novita & Jumadi, 2022;Nurdyansyah, 2019). The use of media has an impact on the way teachers are delivered and student behavior, such as (1) the delivery of material can be uniformed; (2) increase student interest in learning; (3) the learning process will be interactive; (4) the teaching and learning process is more efficient; (5) improving the quality of student learning outcomes; (6) learning can be done more flexibly; (7) the positive attitude of learners in the learning process increases; and (8) the role of teachers is more productive (Cahyati, 2018;Karo-Karo & Rohani, 2018).…”

Improving Student Balinese Language Learning Outcomes through Interactive Animated Video Based on a Contextual Method

“…Alpha generation students' learning will be efficiently facilitated by information and technology advancements that simplify accessing learning via cell phones. The technology used to support students must be able to make it simple for teachers to present knowledge regarding complex material, be able to use multiple combined media, which includes audio and visual, and be able to draw students' attention and focus on increasing motivation and achievement in learning, have interactive features that can facilitate students' responses, and have an independent nature that facilitates it more accessible for teachers to set up the technology independently (Novita & Jumadi, 2022;Rokhim et al, 2020).…”
