EFEKTIVITAS PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS KOMPUTER MELALUI MATERI DIGITAL DAN DISKUSI DARING TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR MAHASISWA PPKN UNIVERSITAS CENDERAWASIH

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of computer-based learning through digital materials and online discussions on the learning outcomes of students in the Civics Education Study Program at Cenderawasih University. A quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest experimental design was applied to 60 students from the 2022 cohort. Data were collected through cognitive and psychomotor learning outcome tests, as well as a learning motivation questionnaire administered after the treatment. The computer-based learning intervention lasted for eight weeks, involving access to digital materials, online discussions, and structured assignments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a t-test to compare scores before and after the treatment. The results showed that the mean cognitive score increased from 56.83 to 80.83, and the psychomotor score increased from 50.83 to 78.78. The t-test revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05), and 85% of students reported feeling more motivated. These findings confirm that computer-based learning is effective in improving Civics Education students' learning outcomes through the provision of digital materials, flexibility, and online academic interaction. This study implies the importance of strengthening digital literacy and integrating technology into Civics Education courses in higher education. Keywords: computer-based learning, digital materials, online discussion, learning outcomes, Civics Education.

Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain eksperimen pretest-posttest digunakan pada 60 mahasiswa angkatan 2022. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes hasil belajar kognitif dan psikomotorik, serta kuesioner motivasi belajar setelah perlakuan. Intervensi pembelajaran berbasis komputer berlangsung selama delapan minggu melalui akses materi digital, diskusi daring, dan tugas terstruktur. Analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji-t untuk membandingkan skor sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Hasil menunjukkan rata-rata skor kognitif meningkat dari 56,83 menjadi 80,83, dan psikomotorik dari 50,83 menjadi 78,78. Uji-t menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan (p < 0,05), serta 85% mahasiswa merasa lebih termotivasi. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa pembelajaran berbasis komputer efektif meningkatkan hasil belajar mahasiswa PPKn melalui penyediaan materi digital, fleksibilitas, dan interaksi akademik daring. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada penguatan literasi digital dan integrasi teknologi dalam perkuliahan PPKn di perguruan tinggi.
