Students' Responses to Google Sites-Based Learning Media in High School Mathematics Education

Abstract

This study aims to determine students' responses to Google Sites-based learning media. Technological advancements have significantly impacted education, particularly in learning media. However, in practice, the use of technology as a learning medium is still underutilized. Conventional methods, such as lectures and chalkboard usage, are more commonly employed. This study utilizes the R&D (Research and Development) methodology with the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation). However, the implementation stage could not be fully carried out due to limitations, such as restrictions on bringing gadgets and supporting facilities. The subjects of the study were several Grade X students. The results of the study in the analysis stage revealed that the use of technology-based learning media in mathematics instruction is still rare. In the design stage, we created a Google Sites learning media design by determining the background concept, creating a storyboard, designing the layout, and filling in the content. In the development stage, researchers conducted interviews with several students to understand their responses to Google Sites learning media. Overall, students' responses to Google Sites learning media were effective and enjoyable. Students experienced the benefits of easy access to information, an engaging interface, and the ability to revisit the material taught.
