This study aims to investigate the effect of the use of digital learning media on improving students' understanding of material at Rungkut Kidul 2 Surabaya Elementary School. This study uses an experimental design with a quantitative approach. The research population is grade 4 students at SDN Rungkut Kidul 2 Surabaya, with samples taken using purposive sampling techniques. The sample was divided into two groups, namely the experimental group that used digital learning media and the control group that used conventional learning methods. Data was obtained through pretest and posttest which contained questions about mathematics and Indonesian learning materials.
Data analysis used a paired sample t-test to see the difference between the pretest and posttest results in the two groups. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement, with the average posttest score increasing from 65 to 85, while the control group only increased from 66 to 74. The results of the statistical test showed that the p-value for the experimental group was 0.000, which means that the increase was significant (p < 0.05), while the control group had a p-value of 0.007.
These findings show that the use of digital learning media can significantly improve students' understanding of material compared to conventional learning methods. However, the limitations of technology tools and teacher training are challenges in its implementation. Therefore, it is recommended that the school continue to develop technological facilities and provide further training for teachers.
