Pengaruh Penggunaan Alat Peraga Fisika Ramah Lingkungan terhadap Kreativitas dan Hasil Belajar Siswa SMP Diponegoro Majenang

Abstract

This study investigated the influence of eco-friendly physics teaching aids on creativity and learning outcomes among junior high school students. This study aims to examine the effect of using eco-friendly physics teaching aids made from used materials on students' creativity and physics learning outcomes at SMP Diponegoro Majenang. A quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design was applied to 60 eighth-grade students, divided into an experimental group (eco-friendly teaching aids) and a control group (conventional method). Data were collected through learning outcome tests and creativity assessment rubrics, then analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and independent sample t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group achieved a higher N-Gain (0.58, moderate-to-high category) than the control group (0.27, low category), and the independent sample t-test showed a significant difference (t = 6.82, p < 0.001). Students' creativity scores in the experimental group (mean 81.3) were also significantly higher than in the control group (mean 63.5). Eco-friendly physics teaching aids effectively improve both students' creativity and physics learning outcomes and can be considered an alternative, low-cost, and environmentally responsible learning medium.
