Pengaruh Media Kartu Pecahan Berwarna Terhadap Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Peserta Didik Kelas II Pada Materi Pecahan Sederhana

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in mathematics subjects, the lack of student interest in learning, and the minimal use of interactive learning media during the learning process. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of colored fraction cards as a learning medium on improving the learning outcomes of second-grade students on the topic of simple fractions. This type of research is quantitative, using an experimental method with a one-group pre-test – post-test design. The research sample consisted of students from class IIA. The sampling technique used was probability sampling with the cluster sampling type. The results of the study show that there is an effect of using colored fraction cards on students' learning outcomes. This effect is evidenced by a higher average post-test score compared to the pre-test score, where the pre-test score was 63.81 and the post-test score was 75.77 on the topic of simple fractions. Through data analysis using the Paired Sample t-Test, a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05 was obtained, which means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of colored fraction cards has a positive effect on students' learning outcomes in the topic of simple fractions. After conducting this study, the author suggests that the learning process in schools should utilize colored fraction cards as an interactive, technology-based learning tool to create a more effective and enjoyable learning atmosphere, thereby positively impacting student learning outcomes.
