The Influence of the Application of the Discovery Learning Model Using the Augmented Reality (Ar) Sense System on the Ability to Understand Concepts and Attitudes to Learners' Learning Media

Abstract

The sensory system topic is still considered difficult by students. Therefore, the appropriate learning model is needed to make the student easier to understand the content. Research on the effect of the application of discovery learning models using the Augmented Reality (AR) sensory system aims to determine the effect of this media on students understanding of the sensory system material and their attitudes toward the learning media. The method used in this research is the experimental method. The population is all students of grade 11 th of MAN 2 Banda Aceh, and the sample is a total sampling (n=129 students). The parameters of this research are conceptual understanding which is measured by cognitive tests and students' attitudes measured by questionnaires. The increase in concept understanding is analyzed with an independent t-test. The results showed that t count > t table (3.38 > 1.99), that indicated a significant increase of students understanding. While the attitude analysis showed that students' attitude is in good category (75.38%) and very good category (24.62%). Furthermore, the application of AR in sensory system learning could be used by teachers to improve students cognitive understanding and attitude.
