How Effective Are Teacher Explanatory Skills on Elementary School Student Involvement in the Mastery of Online-Based Learning Materials?

Abstract

This research is conducted because of the low involvement of students in the mastery of online-based
learning materials. In general, elementary school students only get learning material without paying
attention to and mastering the material provided by the teacher. Students can only study if
accompanied by teachers and parents in online-based learning. The learning methods applied by the
teacher in delivering lessons have not followed online-based learning procedures. This study aims to
identify differences before and after applying teacher explanatory skills in online-based learning and
compare between classes that have not applied the skills. The True Experimental Pretest-Postest Control
Group Design method is used with a sample of 74 students of 0903 Public Elementary School, Gonting
Julu, North Padang Lawas. Researchers use the t-test formula to analyze the data. The results show a
significant influence between teacher explanatory skills and student involvement in online-based
learning. The study recommends that teachers' presenting abilities explain material in-depth and provide
assignments that support elementary student learning.
