The Effectiveness of Smart Bottle Caps Math Learning Media on Mathematics Learning Achievement of Multiplication Counting Operations Material

Abstract

This research is conducted due to some problems found in the conventional learning process. Moreover, many students have less interested in learning mathematics, which results in their low math achievement. The objectives of this study are: (1) to find  out  the  increase  of  Mathematics  learning  achievement  of  mult iplication counting operations material after being taught by using Smart bottle caps Math learning media (2) to find out the effectiveness of the use of Smart bottle caps Math learning media. The research used an experimental quantitative research method. The results showed an increase in the average value between the pretest of 60 and the posttest score of 90; the t-test is found that the p-value (sig) of the Levene's test was 0.31 or greater than the α (0.05). This means that the variants of the two groups are the same, so the t-test results in the first row show that the p-value (sig (2- tailed)) is 0.000. It proves that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. The average posttest score is statistically higher than the pretest score, before being taught by using Smart bottle caps Math learning media. Therefore, it can be concluded that the learning media is very effective to improve students’ achievement.
