The Effect of e-Learning Toward Student Learning Outcomes

This study seeks to determine the impact of elearning in education on students’ learning outcome. We employ a quasi-experimental design in this study. The subject of this study consisted of students of Sport Science Faculty at State University of Medan. The independent variables in this study are e-learning using an Edmodo platform that serves to provide elearning materials and conventional learning method. The dependent variable is the students’ learning outcome. The data of learning outcomes were analyzed using t-test. The results indicate that the learning outcomes of control class scored 74.31 at 9.47 standard deviation. As for the experimental class, the average score of learning outcomes was 83.56 at 8.26 standard deviation. Significant differences exist between the learning outcomes of experimental and control classes at a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that the experimental class scored 9.25 higher than the control class. From this, it can be stated that students who use e-learning scored higher than those who use conventional approaches to learning. This research conclude that e-learning can have an impact on student learning outcomes.
