APPLICATION OF MAKE A MATCH MODEL TO IMPROVE GEOGRAPHY LEARNING OUTCOMES

This research was conducted to analyze the application of make a match learning model to improve the learning outcome of geography in class X of SMA PGRI 4 Banjarmasin with the material of geography principles. This research employed a quasi-experimental design method, quantitative approach and non-equivalent of pre-test and post-test control group design. The research included two groups namely the control and experimental groups. The number of the population was 67 students. All students in class X were used as the samples, where class X 1 was as the experimental class and X2 was as the control class. Students in class X 1 and X-2 were 35 students and 32 students. The result of t-test showed that the value of post-test for experimental class using make a match learning model was 54.87. The post-test result from the control class using the conventional model was 48.05. The post-test using the make a match had the higher learning outcome than the conventional model. The make a match learning model had increased the student learning outcome of geography.


Introduction
Education plays a very important role in human life related to aspects of life.It can create qualified human beings such as on the learning process related to the material, objectives, activities, and evaluation of learning.It has been noted that education always has a very central role in improving the quality of human resources (Herman, 2007).
As a part of education, learning model is one of the important aspects.Learning model is a plan to design face-to-face learning in the classroom or in a tutorial setting and in shaping the learning materials.The use of learning model is an effort made by the teacher so that a student can be maximally in understanding the subject matter.The students will have the competence as the demands of the lesson material learned.Various learning models implemented have certain characteristics with all the advantages and disadvantages of each (Rubi, 2012).
The learning model will be more lively if students also play an active role in it (Arisanty, Aristin & Misna, 2018).Cooperative learning model, as one of the models, has many learning models that feature active interaction in the classroom for both students and teachers.Learning activity increases a student competence in a subject matter.Cooperative learning model solves the learning problems such as the student learning outcomes, student motivation and student creativity (Sunhaji, 2016).Cooperative learning models give the opportunity for the student to understand their capability (Ningsih, Soetjipto & Sumarmi, 2017).Selection of cooperative learning model also determines the depth of learning material (Arisanty, Aristin & Nasrullah, 2017).One of the cooperative learning models is the make a match, that students have an active role in the learning process in the class.Make a match is an instructional technique of active learning including in the various make a match type revieving models (repetition models) relating to ways to recall what they have learned and test the current student's knowledge and skills with game techniques or game looking for the card pairs which is the answer or question while learning about a concept or topic in a fun atmosphere (Prihatmodjo, Darsono & Sumadi, 2015).Make a match is a model to motivate students to find pairs of cards containing questions and answers.Make a match is kind of game where the students are divided into two groups i.e. group A and group B. Group A gets the topic cards and group B gets the description of topic cards.The students match about the topic cards and the description of topic cards (Zawil, 2016).
National examination score in SMA PGRI 4 Banjarmasin decreases every year.This school gets the lowest score of national examination for Senior High School in Banjarmasin area in academic year 2012/2013 and 2014/2015.The national examination score for geography subject also gets a low score.Based on observations in SMA PGRI 4 Banjarmasin, the low score of geography subject has been influenced by several factors, i.e. less interested in geography learning, less attention during geography lessons, students using handphone while studying, and less willing to listen during the learning process in the class.Therefore, the make a match learning model is needed to increase the student learning interest.The high of learning interest will increase the student learning outcome.Based the background, the objective of the research is to analyze the application of make a match learning model to improve the learning outcome of geography in class X of SMA PGRI 4 Banjarmasin with the material of geography principles.

Methodology
This research employed a quasi-experiment design and non-equivalent design.The design of quasiexperiment uses a control group that the experimental cannot control the outsides variables (Lestari & Yudhanegara, 2015).The non-equivalent design used pre-test and post-test control group design.The researcher gave pretest for the two groups.The first group was given treatment and the second group was given the postest (Lestari & Yudhanegara, 2015).
The population of this study was a number of 67 students.All students in class X were used as the samples.The students were divided into two classes, i.e.X 1 and X 2. A number of students in class X 1 consisted of 35 students.A number of students in class X 2 was 32 students.
Analysis of this data using the test data of learning outcomes i.e. the validity test, reliability test, the level of difficulty and different power.The validity test was used by the researcher to understand the validity of an instrument.The instrument in this research is a multiple choice test, that the number of questions is 15 questions.Reliability test was used to determine the level of the feasibility of the instrument, if the value is obtained high or reliable then the instrument can be trusted.Level of difficulty was used to find out the questions to be shared with students.The question was easy or difficult.Different power was used to find out whether on each item of learning outcomes that can differentiate students who have good ability and low ability.The result of instrument test (multiple choice tests) are presented in Table 1.Data analysis uses N-gain and t-test.N-Gain is used to understand the difference between the post-test score and the pre-test score and the improvement in the students' learning outcomes in both classes.T-test is used to find out after the normality test and homogeneity test.The formula for testing N-Gain (Equation 1) and t test (Equation 2) is as follows: (1) Note: <g>: gain test T 1 : pre-test score The normalized gain values were obtained for each student data, then data was calculated to get the average normalized gain value.The normalized gain averages are interpreted according to the criteria in Table 2.

The t-test
The t-test is used to perform hypothesis testing on the difference of two average parameters.It aims to study the difference in the average of the criterion variables of the two groups or which can be classified into two groups (Kadir, 2015).The t-test in this study used non-parametric sample free samples, where this sample of its existence does not affect each other.The t-test result of post-test of experimental class (class X1) and control class (class X2) is presented in Table 7. Form the t-test results, it can be concluded that the post-test score of students using the make a match model is higher and more consistent than the conventional one.The result of t-test in table 6 shows the variance of the population of both experiment class and control class is equal or homogeneous because the variance of homogeneous data will then be selected equal column of variances assumed.
The t-test line for equality is obtained t = 1.465, df = 65 and sig.(2 tailed) or p-value = 0.148/2 = 0.074 > 0.05 or H 0 is rejected, H 1 is accepted, there is a significant difference between the experimental class and the control class.The result of t-test as a whole is the post-test value of the students for the material of geography principles has improved both experimental and control classes, but the experimental class learning result has greater improvement the learning outcomes of students on the material principles of geography than the control class.
The experimental class uses to make a match learning model, that the activities of learning model become more interest, more active and not quickly bored compared to conventional learning, that teacher is as the focus of learning.Make a match learning model makes the learning process is easier for students.
Learning activities use the make a match model will also foster a sense of excitement and the realization of cooperation among students dynamically.Geography learning in SMA PGRI 4 Banjarmasin is more dominant using conventional methods.Teachers teach and give the assignment or practice in the student workbook.
Learning activities can still be optimized by arranging learning activities using learning models, that can help achieve the learning objectives.The condition of class X in SMA PGRI 4 is not yet equipped with media projector so that the students are not interested in learning activity.The make a match learning model has been proven to improve students' geography learning outcomes.This model can be recommended for geography learning activities, especially on geographic principles.
Make a match learning model has advantages and disadvantages.The advantages of the make a match learning model by Kurniasih and Berlin (2016) are a) able to create an active and fun learning atmosphere; b) the lesson material more attention to the students; c) able to improve student learning outcomes; d) foster an atmosphere of fun in the learning process; e) realization of cooperation among students dynamically; f) bringing a unified atmosphere of mutual help to all students.Disadvantages of make a match learning model consist of a) deeply requires guidance from teachers to do activities; b) the need for time restrictions; c) preparation of adequate materials and tools; d) risk of raising noise in a class with a large number of students (< 30 students/class); e) may interfere with the peace of learning in his left-right class (Rahmawati & Suprihatiningrum, 2014).Prihatmodjo, et al. (2015) show that the make a match learning model can improve students learning outcomes characterized by an increase of geography learning outcomes.The result of the research shows that the average of student's learning result on post-test (after applied learning model of make a match) is 66.22, while student's score on pre-test (before an applied model of make a match) is 46.25.This score proves the increase in student learning outcomes after the applied model of make a match learning.The same result from Istiqomah (2010), Hidayah, Sunarno and Indriayu (2016), Syaifullah (2016) that the make a match learning model can improve student learning outcomes.The other advantages using make a match are increasing the learning achievement, increasing the cognitive ability of students, increasing the social studies quality, improving the teacher skill and student activity, increasing the student independent learning (Mertadi, Pudjawan & Raga, 2014;Febriana, 2011;Susanti, Nurkamto & Suharno, 2014).

Conclusion
Make a match has increased the geography learning outcomes in the experiment class on the material of geography principles in SMA PGRI 4 Banjarmasin.The post-test learning outcome using make a match obtains 54.87, while the post-test learning outcome using the conventional method obtains 48.05.The result of the post-test value of the students for the material of geography principles has improved both the experimental class and control class, but the experimental class has greater improvement in the learning outcomes of students than the control class.
