The Influence of Experimental Methods on NaturalScience Learning Outcomes

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the experimental method
on the learning outcomes of Natural Science in Class V students at MI Ash-Shobirin
Samarinda and to find out how much influence the application of the experimental
method had on learning outcomes in Science in Class V students at MI Ash-Shobirin
Samarinda. This study uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental
research design. Data collection techniques using tests, observation and
documentation. The test is used to determine student learning outcomes on the
application of the experimental method. Observation is used to observe the
teacher's ability to use the experimental method. And documentation is used for
data collection related to research. The variables in this study consisted of variable
X experimental method and variable Y learning outcomes from science learning.
The sample in this study were all fifth grade students at MI Ash-Shobirin
Samarinda, totaling 45 people. The experimental class consisted of 23 students and
the control class consisted of 22 students. The data validity technique uses validity
and reliability tests. The data analysis technique uses an independent T-test. The
results obtained from the independent t-test in the experimental group against the
control group showed a significance value of 0.013 less than 0.05. Then it is stated
that Hₐis accepted and H₀ is rejected. It can be concluded that there is an effect of
the use of the Experimental Method on the learning outcomes of natural science
on single and mixed substances in class V students at MI Ash- Shobirin Samarinda.
