Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test To Know The Application Of Rolling Ball Media On Learning Outcomes

Introduction

Wilcoxon match pairs test to know the application of rolling ball media on learning outcomes. Explore the impact of Rolling Ball learning media on Fiqh student outcomes. This quantitative study, using pre-test/post-test and t-test analysis, reveals significant improvement.

Abstract

Results This research aims to determine student learning outcomes by applying the Rolling Ball learning media in fiqh subjects and as an alternative for teachers in an effort to provide understanding to students and improve student learning outcomes in fiqh subjects. The method used in this research is quantitative. Data collection instruments through observation, interviews, pre-test and post-test questions. The subjects taken in this research were the MA Al-Bayruni school class XI-IPA 2 Sambong. The results of the data normality test obtained values from the pre-test and post-test results that were greater than 0.05, namely 0.091>0.05 and 0.026>0.05, it can be concluded that the data is normally distributed. The results of the analysis using the t test obtained a result of 0.008 < 0.05 so it can be said that there is an influence from the application of the Rolling Ball learning model to student learning outcomes.

Review

This paper explores the impact of "Rolling Ball" learning media on student learning outcomes in Fiqh subjects, aiming to provide an alternative teaching strategy and improve student understanding. The study adopted a quantitative approach, utilizing pre-test and post-test questions, observations, and interviews with students from a specific class (MA Al-Bayruni school class XI-IPA 2 Sambong). The abstract reports a positive and significant influence of the Rolling Ball learning model on student outcomes, concluding that the data was normally distributed and that a t-test revealed a significant effect (p=0.008). Despite the relevant educational topic, the manuscript presents significant methodological inconsistencies that require immediate attention. A critical discrepancy exists between the title, which specifies a "Wilcoxon Match Pairs Test," and the abstract, which describes a "t test" for the main analysis. This issue is compounded by the reported normality test results: while one p-value (0.091) is > 0.05, another (0.026) is < 0.05. If the latter p-value originates from a standard normality test (e.g., Shapiro-Wilk), it would indicate non-normality, rendering a parametric t-test inappropriate and making the Wilcoxon test (as per the title) the correct statistical choice. Without clear justification and correction, the reported statistical conclusions are questionable. Furthermore, the abstract lacks any description of what the "Rolling Ball" learning media actually is or how it functions, which is crucial for understanding the intervention's nature and replicability. The generalizability of the findings is also constrained by the use of a single-class sample. Given these fundamental issues, major revisions are necessary before this manuscript can be considered for publication. The authors must explicitly clarify and correct the statistical methodology, ensuring consistency between the title and abstract and providing a robust rationale for the chosen statistical test based on clearly presented normality test results. A comprehensive description of the "Rolling Ball" learning media is essential to inform readers about the intervention. Finally, the discussion should thoroughly address the limitations of the sample size and its implications for generalizability. Addressing these points will substantially enhance the paper's scientific rigor and contribute meaningfully to educational research.
