THE EFFECT OF USING THE SIMULATION METHOD ON STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES IN SOCIAL STUDIES CLASS VIII AT SMP NEGERI 1 JENGGAWAH FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023

Pengaruh Penggunaan Metode Simulasi Terhadap Hasil Belajar Siswa Pada Pembelajaran IPS kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 1 Jenggawah Tahun Ajaran 20222/2023

Abstract

In applying the simulation method it is hoped that students will be more active and participatory in the teaching and learning process so that students are even more motivated to achieve more in learning. In applying this simulation method in the form of practice using aids in the form of pictures so that students learn more fun and more active. The simulation method for student learning outcomes at SMP Negeri 1 Jenggawah is that the teacher teaches using the simulation method to students so that they are more active so that they can improve learning outcomes. The form of teaching this simulation method in social science given to students is that prior to face-to-face learning they are asked to study on their own at home regarding the material for the next meeting. The research used by researchers used a quantitative approach, the method used was Quasi Experimental Design with the type of Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The data analysis used was the Independent Sample t-Test using the prerequisite test, namely the normality test, linearity test, and homogeneity test. The purpose of this study was to find out whether there was an effect of using the simulation method on student learning outcomes in social studies learning at SMP Negeri 1 Jenggawah. This study came to the conclusion that the result of data analysis and hypothesis testing was 0.0001 which means that the result is less than 0.05. It can be interpreted that the independent variable of the simulation model has an effect on the dependent variable, namely student learning outcomes in social studies class VIII at SMP Negeri 1 Jenggawah Academic Year 2022/2023.
