The use of distance learning through whatsapp and google meeting to identify differences in biology learning outcomes

The COVID-19 pandemic has turned face-to-face learning
into distance learning using online media. Educational
institutions strive to provide a system to meet students'
needs in conducting distance learning using online media.
Educational institutions also try to familiarize teachers and
students with using online media in the learning process.
Educators and students can utilize distance learning media
in Whatsapp groups and google meetings to carry out the
learning process. This study aims to determine whether
there are differences in student biology learning outcomes
between the experimental class I learning using WhatsApp
group and the practical class II learning using google
meetings. This type of research is a quasi-experimental
design with a posttest-only control design. The study
population was all class X MIPA (mathematics and
science) Public Senior High School 02 Batu (There are five
classes). The sampling technique used purposive sampling.
The experimental class I was class X MIPA 4 with 28 students
and the practical class II was class X MIPA 5 with 28
students. Descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis
techniques using Ms. Excell and the Independent Sample TTest (SPSS Statistics 17.0). This study indicates that there is
a difference in the average learning outcomes of students
between experimental class I (74.75) who carry out learning
using WhatsApp group and experimental class II (64.75)
who carry out learning using google meetings. In conclusion,
learning using the WhatsApp group is better.
