Improving student’s understanding of ratio concept using PowToon-video based STEAM in a flipped learning model

Previous research has discussed many efforts to improve students' understanding of Ratio concept in mathematics. However, research that integrates technology with the STEAM approach to improve understanding of ratio concept, especially through the Flipped Learning model using PowToon Video-based STEAM is still limited. Therefore, this study aims to measure the effectiveness of the Flipped Learning model integrated with PowToon Video-based STEAM in improving students' understanding of ratio concept. To test this effectiveness, the study compared the results of applying between Flipped Learning model and conventional learning model. This study used a quantitative method with a pretest-posttest control group design and involved 57 grade 7 students at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Surakarta. The results showed that the use of the Flipped Learning model integrated with PowToon Video-based STEAM provided a significant improvement in students' understanding of ratio concept in mathematical, compared to the Flipped Learning model without PowToon Video STEAM and conventional learning methods. In addition, this study explains the syntax of the Flipped Learning model using PowToon video-based STEAM which can be a guide in the learning process at the junior high school level, especially for mathematical ratio concept. This study aims to determine the level of effectiveness of the application of the Flipped learning model using PowToon video-based STEAM in improving students' understanding of the ratio concept. Based on the results of the analysis using the One-Way ANOVA test and post hoc test, this study was able to answer the formulation of the hypothesis that the application of the flipped learning model using PowToon-video based STEAM is significantly effective in improving students' understanding of ratios concept. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the video PowToon STEAM based Flipped Learning model can further increase students' understanding of ratios compared to the Flipped learning and conventional models.
