THE EFFECT OF FLIPPED CLASSROOM LEARNING MODEL WITH POWTOON ANIMATION MEDIA TOWARDS MATHEMATICS CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND LEARNING INDEPENDENCE OF CLASS VII STUDENTS OF SMP NEGERI 2 KUTA SELATAN

This study aims to determine: (1) whether the mathematics conceptual understanding of students who take learning with the flipped classroom model assisted by the Powtoon animation media is better than mathematics conceptual understanding of students who take conventional learning method, (2) whether the learning independence of students who take learning with the flipped classroom model assisted by the Powtoon animation media is better than students' learning independence following conventional learning method, and (3) is mathematics conceptual understanding and learning independence of students who take learning with the flipped model with Powtoon animation media is better than understanding math concepts and students' learning independence with conventional learning method. The population of this study was all students of class VII SMP Negeri 2 Kuta Selatan in the academic year 2019/2020. The sample in this study was determined by cluster random sampling technique, which found as many as 2 classes who were divided into the experimental class and the control class. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a post-test only control group design. The students' mathematics conceptual understanding data was collected using essay tests to understand mathematical concepts, a set of students' learning independence data was obtained with a student learning independence questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Manova test with a significance level of 5%. The experimental results show that: (1) the ability to understand mathematical concepts of students who take learning with the flipped classroom model assisted by Powtoon animation media is better than students who take conventional learning method, (2) the independence of learning of students who take learning with the flipped classroom model assisted by the Powtoon animation media than students who follow conventional learning method, and (3) the ability to understand mathematical concepts and the learning independence of students who take lessons with the flipped classroom model assisted by Powtoon animation media is better than students who follow conventional learning method. This is because students who take part in learning with the flipped classroom model assisted by the Powtoon animation media are more enthusiastic about learning in class because they have previously studied the material with the videos in their homes. Students are also trained to re-express their understanding with group discussions.
