THE INFLUENCE OF CONCRETE INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA ON LEARNING ACHIEVEMENT

Abstract

The process of education is a very important policy and strategy for the implementation and improvement of the quality of education. Through the process of education, each teacher or school administrator can specify the learning process of a system, thus achieving the process to improve the quality of education can shape and influence the learning process. Within the overall educational process at school, learning takes a role in the most basic activities. This study aims to identify and analyze the significant influence of the use of concrete instructional media to the learning achievement of physics at Temperature and Heat Topic In Grade II Programa IPA to Cawu I in Ensino Secundário Geral No. 01 Baucau. This research was quantitative study using simple linear regression. The results showed that there is an influence of the use of concrete instructional media to learning achievement in which the value of Fcount provides significant results between the use of concrete instructional media to learning achievement in Ensino Secundaria Geral 01 Baucau. Meanwhile, the value of tcount of 8.137 is greater than ttable that is equal to 1.997 on the significant value of 0.005, then the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and Ho is rejected. For simple linear regression equation Y = 1,264 + 0.590X. For the correlation coefficient is equal to 0.725 and the coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.526 or 52.6% which means that 52.6% the use of concrete instructional media (X) determines the improvement of the learning achievement in Ensino Básico Secundaria Geral 01 Baucau. The t-test results are greater than ttable or tcount (8.137) > ttable (1.997), then the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and Ho is rejected. Because tcount is located in the area of accepted Ha, then there is the effect of the use of concrete instructional media on students’ learning achievement.
