EFEKTIVITAS MEDIA AJAR DIGITAL BERBASIS PADLET DALAM PEMBELAJARAN ALGORITMA PEMROGRAMAN

Abstract

This study is motivated by the need for integrated and interactive digital learning media in Algorithm and Programming courses at the higher education level. These courses require logical and systematic thinking skills; however, learning materials are often fragmented and less supportive of students’ independent learning. This study aims to implement Padletbased digital learning media and analyze its practicality and effectiveness in Algorithm and Programming learning. The research employed an implementationbased approach involving students of the Informatics Engineering Education program. The research instruments consisted of a practicality questionnaire and learning outcome tests in the form of pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods through percentage analysis and NGain calculation. The results show that the Padletbased digital learning media achieved a practicality score of 87.58%, categorized as very practical. Furthermore, the effectiveness test produced an average NGain score of 0.756, which falls into the high category. These findings indicate that Padletbased digital learning media is practical and effective in improving students’ learning outcomes in Algorithm and Programming courses.
