Penerapan Mobile Learning Berbasis Inkuiri untuk Meningkatkan Motivasi dan Penguasaan Konsep Bakteri Mahasiswa Pendidikan Biologi
Downloads
Pembelajaran materi bakteri di perguruan tinggi masih menghadapi rendahnya motivasi belajar dan penguasaan konsep, sementara pemanfaatan smartphone belum terintegrasi secara optimal dengan aktivitas pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji perubahan motivasi belajar dan penguasaan konsep bakteri mahasiswa setelah penerapan mobile learning berbasis inkuiri, serta mendeskripsikan karakteristik pembelajaran dan tanggapan mahasiswa. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain praeksperimental satu kelompok prates dan pascates. Sebanyak 32 mahasiswa semester lima Pendidikan Biologi Institut Pendidikan Indonesia Garut dilibatkan melalui sampling jenuh. Pembelajaran dilaksanakan selama dua pertemuan. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan tes penguasaan konsep, angket motivasi berdasarkan aspek perhatian, relevansi, kepercayaan diri, dan kepuasan, serta angket tanggapan mahasiswa. Analisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, pengujian perbedaan berpasangan, dan gain ternormalisasi. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan rerata motivasi dari 72,59 menjadi 116,53 dengan gain 0,566, sedangkan penguasaan konsep meningkat dari 62,41 menjadi 78,50 dengan gain 0,413. Kedua peningkatan termasuk kategori sedang dan menunjukkan perbedaan signifikan secara statistik. Tanggapan mahasiswa memperoleh rerata 34,60 dengan kategori sangat baik. Temuan mengindikasikan bahwa representasi multimedia, akses mandiri, dan tahapan inkuiri mendukung keterlibatan serta konstruksi konsep. Disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran ini berpotensi mendukung aspek afektif dan kognitif mahasiswa. Namun, ketiadaan kelompok kontrol membatasi penarikan kesimpulan kausal, sehingga penelitian lanjutan memerlukan kelompok pembanding dan durasi intervensi yang lebih panjang.
