IMPLEMENTATION OF PHYSICS LEARNING BASED ON HYPERMEDIA TO ENHANCE STUDENT’S PROBLEM SOLVING SKILL

The objectives of this research were to examine the effect of hypermedia’s implementation as physics learning tools on student’s problem solving skills as well as their attitude towards the hypermedia used. The type of research was pre-experimental using one group pre-test-post-test design. The subject of this research was physics students of Fakultas Keguruan Ilmu Pendidikan (FKIP) or Teaching and Education Faculty, Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar year 2017/2018 totalling 31 students. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics namely N-Gain test. The results showed that the highest score of problem solving skill achieved before the implementation of hypermedia was 32 and 63 after the implementation from the ideal score of 76. N-Gain analysis showed the average improvement of problem solving skills before and after the implementation was 0.59 and in category average 74.19%. Score of every indicator of problem solving skills before the implementation was below 50% and above 50% afterwards. Meanwhile, perception analysis showed that the average score was 84.12% indicating that students were highly agree and happy with the implementation of hypermedia in physics learning.
