The influence of waterwheel open diorama media on students' concept understanding of ecosystem component materials
Main Article Content
Abstract
The use of learning media by teachers that is not optimal results in students who do not pay attention to the teacher in delivering material during the learning process in the classroom. To overcome these problems, the researcher provided a watermill-based diorama media to evaluate whether its use had an impact or not. This study is aimed at determining the influence of the use of diorama media on students’ concept understanding in grade V of SDN 1 Panggungrejo and SDN 3 Mojosari. The method used in this study is quantitative with a quasi-experimental research model. Instruments in the form of pretest and posttest were given in the control class and the experimental class to test students' comprehension, and analysis was carried out to calculate the t-test. The results obtained showed that the experimental class using waterwheel-based diorama media had an influence on students' understanding of concepts in the science subject of ecosystem material. In addition, there was a significant influence on the concept comprehension test between students who participated in learning using watermill-based diorama media and students who did not use watermill-based diorama media. In conclusion, the application of waterwheel-based diorama learning media has a significant influence on students' understanding of ecosystem materials in grade V elementary school.
