PENERAPAN STRATEGI PEMBELAJARAN REACT TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA

Abstract

The aim of the research is to find out whether the learning outcomes of students who use the REACT learning strategy are better than the learning outcomes of students who use conventional learning in class VII at one of the Islamic junior high school in Aceh Barat, Indonesia on quadrilateral topic. This research approach is a quantitative quasi-experimental type with a pre-test and post test control group design. The population of this study was all three classes of class VII students at the school studied Aceh Barat. The sample was selected using a random sampling technique, and class VII-A was obtained as the experimental class and VII-B as the control class. The data collection technique consists of initial test questions (pretest) and final test (posttest). Pretest data was analyzed to determine the initial abilities of the two classes before participating in learning with different treatments. Meanwhile, posttest data is processed with the aim of knowing the results of the learning process that has been carried out. Data analysis was carried out at a significance level of 5% by paying attention to the prerequisite t statistical tests such as normality and homogeneity, hypothesis testing using a two-sided t test for pretest testing and a right-sided t test for posttest testing in both classes. Meanwhile, the results of the hypothesis test showed that the learning outcomes of students who applied the REACT learning strategy were better than the learning outcomes of students who applied conventional learning in class.
