PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN E-LKPD BERBASIS LIVEWORKSHEET TERHADAP PEMAHAMAN KONSEP PADA PEMBELAJARAN IPAS DI SDN KOTA BENGKULU

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of using Liveworksheet-based Electronic Student Worksheets (E-LKPD) on fifth-grade students' conceptual understanding in Science and Social Studies (IPAS) learning at public elementary schools in Bengkulu City. This research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with the Matching Only Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. The population of this study consisted of fifth-grade students from public elementary schools in Bengkulu City accredited with grade B and implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. The research samples were fifth-grade students of SDN 35 Bengkulu City as the experimental group and fifth-grade students of SDN 99 Bengkulu City as the control group, selected through the Cluster Random Sampling technique. The research instrument used to measure conceptual understanding was an essay test based on the SOLO Taxonomy, administered in the form of pretests and posttests. The data were analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics and prerequisite tests. The average posttest score obtained by the control group was 71.09, while the experimental group achieved an average score of 79.29. Hypothesis testing was conducted using an independent samples t-test. The results showed that the significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) was 0.022, which was lower than 0.05 at the 5% significance level. This indicates a significant difference in the mean scores between the experimental and control groups due to the different treatments applied. The experimental group, which used Liveworksheet-based E-LKPD, demonstrated better conceptual understanding than the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the use of Liveworksheet-based E-LKPD has a significant effect on students' conceptual understanding in IPAS learning among fifth-grade students at public elementary schools in Bengkulu City.
