The Influence of Flashcard Media on Science Learning Outcomes for Islamic Elementary School Grade

Abstract

This study starts from the researchers’ interest in using flashcard media for the elementary school level because seeing the facts in the field that students are only monotonous while in the classroom caused of teacher-centered learning. This research is quantitative with an experimental approach conducted at MI NU 56 KrajanKulon to determine the effect of flashcard media on science learning outcomes for fifth-grade students of MI NU 56 Krajankulon. The population in this study were all fifth-grade students, totaling 126 students. From this population, the researchers used simple random sampling techniques to take the sample of this study. As a result, the chosen class to be the experimental class is the fifth B grade, consisting of 32 students, and the control class is the fifth A grade, consisting of 32 students. The data used in this research are primary and secondary data; primary data was obtained through questionnaires shared with fifth-grade students, while secondary data is in the form of supporting literature on flashcard media and science learning outcomes. The data collection was conducted using multiple-choice tests and documentation. The data analysis technique is descriptive statistics, and the hypothesis test used is the T-test. Moreover, the hypothesis test results showed that the calculated t value is 4.067 > 1.669 with a significance level of 0.000 with the df = (n-1) of 63; therefore, the t table value is at a significant level of 0.05. Thus, the t count > the t table or 4.067 > 1.669 indicates that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted. In conclusion, there is an influence between the use of flashcard media on science learning outcomes.
