The Effect of Blended Learning Model and Interest in Learning on Civics Learning Outcomes of Primary Students

Abstract

This study aims to find out the effect of blended learning model and interest in learning on civics learning outcomes. This study used a quasi-experimental research designs. The population consisted of 155 grade 5 students in Medan. The sample consisted of 63 students that were divided into two groups (experimental group and control group). The instruments used were civics test and Learning Interest questionnaire. The data which analyzed in this research was the score of civics learning outcomes from cognitive domain. The data was analyzed using Two-Way ANOVA technique (analysis of variance). The result of the research are as follows. (1) There is a difference between students’ civics learning outcomes which is taught using blended  learning model with direct learning model, (2) There is a difference between student’s civic learning outcomes who have high interest in learning (HI) with low interest in learning (LI), (3) There is  significant interaction between the use of learning model and the interest in learning on learning outcomes.

Keywords: blended learning, direct learning, interest in learning, civics’ learning outcomes.
