Implementasi Bahan Ajar Google Sites pada Materi Komposisi Fungsi SMK Negeri di Cirebon

Introduction

Implementasi bahan ajar google sites pada materi komposisi fungsi smk negeri di cirebon. Temukan bagaimana bahan ajar digital Google Sites secara efektif meningkatkan pemahaman matematika siswa SMK Cirebon pada materi komposisi fungsi & dukung pembelajaran mandiri.

Abstract

Keterbatasan ketersediaan buku pegangan dan bahan ajar cetak di sekolah kejuruan berdampak pada rendahnya kemandirian dan pemahaman siswa terhadap konsep matematika yang bersifat abstrak. Kondisi ini menuntut pengembangan bahan ajar digital yang mudah diakses, terstruktur, dan mampu memfasilitasi visualisasi konsep. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan bahan ajar digital berbasis Google Sites serta menguji keefektifannya dalam meningkatkan pemahaman siswa pada salah satu materi matematika tingkat sekolah menengah kejuruan. Penelitian menggunakan metode Research and Development (R&D) dengan model ADDIE yang meliputi tahap analisis kebutuhan, perancangan, pengembangan produk, implementasi, dan evaluasi. Subjek penelitian terdiri atas 34 siswa kelas X di salah satu SMK Negeri di Cirebon. Instrumen penelitian meliputi tes pretest dan posttest untuk mengukur peningkatan pemahaman siswa, serta angket untuk mengetahui respons siswa terhadap media yang dikembangkan. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dengan membandingkan hasil pretest dan posttest serta persentase tanggapan angket. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pemahaman siswa yang signifikan, ditandai dengan kenaikan persentase jawaban benar dari 41,2% pada pretest menjadi 97,06% pada posttest, serta berkurangnya kesalahan konseptual dalam menyelesaikan soal. Respons siswa juga menunjukkan penilaian positif pada aspek teknis, pedagogis, dan estetika media. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa bahan ajar berbasis Google Sites efektif digunakan sebagai alternatif sumber belajar digital dan berpotensi mendukung pembelajaran mandiri serta diferensiasi pembelajaran matematika di sekolah kejuruan.

Review

This paper, "Implementasi Bahan Ajar Google Sites pada Materi Komposisi Fungsi SMK Negeri di Cirebon," addresses a highly relevant issue: the limitations of traditional learning resources in vocational schools and their impact on student engagement with abstract mathematical concepts. The authors propose a timely solution by developing and evaluating digital learning materials using Google Sites. The abstract clearly outlines a robust Research and Development (R&D) methodology, specifically the ADDIE model, which lends credibility to the systematic development and testing of the intervention. The reported findings are compelling, indicating a significant improvement in student understanding and overwhelmingly positive student responses, making a strong case for the utility of the developed resource. The study's strength lies in its practical application and the clear evidence of effectiveness presented. The dramatic increase in correct answers from 41.2% in the pretest to 97.06% in the posttest is a powerful indicator of the Google Sites-based material's ability to enhance comprehension and reduce conceptual errors. Furthermore, the positive student feedback across technical, pedagogical, and aesthetic aspects highlights a well-designed and user-friendly resource tailored to student needs. The choice of Google Sites as a platform is commendable for its accessibility and potential to support self-directed and differentiated learning, directly addressing the identified challenges of resource scarcity and abstract concept visualization. While the results are highly encouraging, the abstract hints at potential avenues for further inquiry. The study's focus on 34 students from a single school, while suitable for an initial R&D phase, suggests that broader generalizability would be strengthened by replication with a larger, more diverse sample across different vocational schools. Future research could also benefit from including a comparative control group to more definitively demonstrate the superior effectiveness of the Google Sites materials over conventional teaching methods. Nonetheless, this research offers a valuable contribution to the field of educational technology, providing a practical and effective alternative digital resource that holds significant promise for enhancing mathematics education in vocational settings.
