Digital Communication and Interactive History Learning: The Influence of Magic School-Based Learning Media on Students' Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of Magic School learning media in history learning and determine its influence on the learning outcomes of grade XII students of SMAN 1 Leupung. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population as well as the research sample amounted to 23 grade XII students which were determined through saturated sampling techniques. Data were collected through observation, tests, and documentation, then analyzed using normality, homogeneity, correlation, paired sample t-test, and one sample t-test. The results showed that the average student learning outcome increased from 46.5 before treatment to 77.8 after the application of Magic School media. Student learning activities based on observation results reached 82% in the good category. The results of the paired sample t-test obtained a t-count value of 15.512 greater than the t-table of 2.080 at a significance level of 5%, so that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The one sample t-test also obtained a significance value of 0.008, which shows that the average posttest score has significantly exceeded the KKM of 70. Thus, the Magic School learning media has a significant effect on improving the history learning outcomes of grade XII students of SMAN 1 Leupung
