THE USE OF WEB-BASED ASSISTANCE IN MULTIMODAL CHEMISTRY LEARNING AT SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ MOTIVATION

Abstrak / Ringkasan

The development of information and communication technology (ICT) affects significantly education sector. Nowadays, students are very familiar with ICT, such as computer and Internet which has the advantage to use as media in chemistry learning. The use of student-friendly application of a web based learning management system (LMS) that completed by chemistry multimedia can be benefit for chemistry learning because the multimedia in the web can be accessed anywhere at any time as potential assistance for students. Learning was managed through various learning strategies in the combination of web-based assistance and face-to-face learning in cooperative model of student team achievement division (STAD) which called multimodal learning. This research investigated the effects of multimodal learning on chemistry towards students’ motivation. This research was an experimental research to measure the improvement of students motivation due to multimodal learning. The samples of this research were 2 groups of students, which are experimental group consisting of 30 students and the control group having 31 students. Samples were from grade X of SMA N 7 Purworejo. The difference of chemistry learning between students from the experimental group and control group was learning with and without multimodal learning, respectively. The students' motivation was collected using a questionnaire, observation, and analyzed statistically. Students’ motivation from one group was compared to the another group using independent sample t-test, and the improvement of students’ motivation was analyzed using paired-sample t-test. The result of this research showed that students’ motivation of group with multimodal learning was higher significantly than that without multimodal learning.
