THE INFLUENCE OF DORAEMON POCKET SMART BOARD MEDIA ON THE MATHEMATICAL UNDERSTANDING ABILITY OF CLASS II ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Abstract

The research was motivated by the problem of teachers' lack of variety in using learning media. So that in the learning process students do not understand the learning material presented. Therefore, researchers chose learning using smart board learning media. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of using the Doraemon Pocket smart board learning media on mathematical understanding abilities. This research method uses a quantitative research type, pre-experimental design with one group pretest-posttest type. The sample used was 22 grade II elementary school students. The data collection instrument used a test to measure students' mathematical understanding abilities and a questionnaire to determine students' responses to mathematics learning using the Doraemon Pocket smart board learning media. Based on the results of the research conducted, it obtained a significance value of 0.016, less than 0.05, thus Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected, so it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Doraemon pocket smart board learning media on students' mathematical understanding abilities. This research is recommended due to the students' lack of mathematical understanding skills, particularly in multiplication and division material. One factor that affects students' mathematical understanding skills is the use of learning media.
