Pengaruh Model Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) Berbantuan Aplikasi Kahoot! terhadap Hasil Belajar Fisika Kelas XI pada Materi Fluida Statik di SMA N1 Batang Kuis

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model assisted by the Kahoot! application on the physics learning outcomes of grade XI students on Static Fluid material at SMA Negeri 1 Batang Kuis. This study was motivated by the low physics learning outcomes of students caused by the learning process that is still centered on the teacher, the lack of active student involvement, and the less than optimal use of interactive learning media. These conditions cause students to experience difficulties in understanding physics concepts and connecting them to everyday life. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental research type using a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of two classes, namely the experimental class that received learning using the CTL model assisted by the Kahoot! application and the control class that received conventional learning. The research instrument was a multiple-choice learning outcome test that had met the validity criteria. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially through normality tests, Wilcoxon tests, Mann–Whitney tests, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that student learning outcomes in the experimental class were better than those in the control class. The application of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model assisted by the Kahoot! application has a significant impact on improving students' physics learning outcomes in the Static Fluid material. In addition to improving learning outcomes, the Kahoot!-assisted CTL model is also able to create a more active, interactive, and meaningful learning atmosphere so that students can more easily connect physics concepts with everyday life and increase motivation, participation, self-confidence, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skills during the learning process effectively.
