THE USE OF EDUCANDY INTERACTIVE MEDIA FOR LEARNING INOFFIZIELLE UHRZEITEN

Abstract

Differences in the way of expressing official and unofficial time in German often make students have difficulty in understanding Uhrzeit material, especially inoffizielle Uhrzeiten. One of the efforts to overcome this is by utilizing a variety of learning media, such as Educandy interactive media. The purpose of this research is to find out: 1) The level of students' understanding of inoffizielle Uhrzeiten material before the use of Educandy media, 2) The level of students' understanding of inoffizielle Uhrzeiten material after the use of Educandy media, 3) The effectiveness of using Educandy media to improve students' ability to master inoffizielle Uhrzeiten material. This research uses quantitative methods with quasi-experimental types. The population in this study were all grade X students at SMA Pasundan 1 Bandung in the 2022/2023 school year with a research sample of 24 students of grade X MIPA 4 as the experimental group and 21 students of grade X MIPA 3 as the control group. The results of this study are as follows: 1) The average test scores of the experimental group and control group before treatment were in the poor category, 2) After treatment, the average test score of the experimental group was in the very good category, while the control group was in the good category, 3) Based on the results of the Independent Sample t-Test, the use of Educandy media proved to be effective. This is evidenced by the significance value (2-tailed) obtained less than 0.05 (<0.001). Thus, Educandy media can be an alternative learning media in learning inoffizielle Uhrzeiten.
