PENGGUNAAN MEDIA INTERAKTIF EDUCANDY UNTUK PEMBELAJARAN INOFFIZIELLE UHRZEITEN

The difference in expressing time formally and informally in the German language often leads students to difficulties in understanding the Uhrzeit (time) material, particularly inoffizielle Uhrzeiten (unofficial times). One of the efforts to overcome this is utilizing various learning media, such as interactive media like Educandy. The purpose of this research was to determine: 1) The level of students' understanding of the inoffizielle Uhrzeiten material before using Educandy media, 2) The level of students' understanding of the inoffizielle Uhrzeiten material after using Educandy media, 3) The effectiveness of using Educandy media to improve students' proficiency in mastering the inoffizielle Uhrzeiten material. This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The population of this research consists of all tenth-grade students at Senior High School Pasundan 1 Bandung for the academic year 2022/2023, with the research sample being 24 students from class 10th Mathematics and Natural Sciences 4 as the experimental group and 21 students from class 10th Mathematics and Natural Sciences 3 as the control group. The results of this research were as follows: 1) The average test scores in the experimental and control groups before the treatment were categorized as below average; 2) After the treatment, the average test scores in the experimental group were categorized as very good, while in the control group categorized as good; 3) Based on the results of the Independent Sample t-Test, the use of Educandy media was proven effective. Based on the Independent Sample t-Test results, the use of Educandy media was proven effective. This was evidenced by the significance value (2-tailed) that was obtained being less than 0.05 (< 0.001). Therefore, Educandy media could be an alternative learning tool for teaching inoffizielle Uhrzeiten
