Increasing Students' Learning Outcomes Through the Use of Multimedia Projectors in Natural Science Subject Class IX SMP Negeri 6 Kendari

Abstract

Base on observations in class, it can be seen that student learning outcomes are still low. With this multimedia projector, it is hoped that students will not only listen, see and learn passively as has happened so far, so that with the use of this multimedia projector, they will be able to provide full learning facilities and create active, creative, effective learning situations. and fun so that students will be more interested in participating in the process of teaching and learning activities. The formulation of the problem is: "How to improve student learning outcomes through the use of multimedia projectors in science subjects for class IX SMP Negeri 6 Kendari?". This study aims to determine the improvement of student learning outcomes through the use of multimedia projectors in science subjects Class IX SMP Negeri 6 Kendari. This research has benefits for students, teachers and schools. This type of research is descriptive qualitative using a class action research design (CAR) which refers to the teacher's actions in learning activities. The research flow carried out in this study was two cycles. Each cycle consists of stages of planning, implementing actions, observing and reflecting. The results of the reflection in the first cycle will be the material for planning in the second cycle, and so on until the research is said to be successful.       

The data sources of this research are students and teachers. Data collection techniques in this study were carried out using learning outcomes tests and observation sheets. The learning outcomes test in this study aims to determine student learning outcomes after learning is held using a multimedia projector. The test is given to students at the end of each cycle. The observation sheet serves to determine the activities of students and teachers during the implementation of learning by using a multimedia projector. The observation sheet is filled in by the observer in each learning process that takes place. This observation sheet consists of student observation sheets and teacher observation sheets. The data that has been collected is then analyzed by quantitative descriptive statistical analysis techniques.       

From the test of student learning outcomes in cycle II, it can be seen that the average score obtained by students is 82.40 with a percentage of students' completeness that is 93%. The percentage of completeness is 93% already above the success criteria of 75%. The results of observing student activities are paying attention to the teacher's explanation 93%, listening to multimedia projector shows 100%, recording important material 90%, doing group work 93%, and irrelevant behavior decreases to 6%. The activity of students and teachers can be categorized very well.
