The Influence of Learning Models and Personality on Learning Outcomes of Programming Algorithm Course in the Students’ Majoring in Information System at Stikom Ambon College

Abstract

The lack of achievement in learning result of algorithm programming course is still a problem which has not been solved yet. This is because of various factors like the chosen of learning models and the mental personality of the students. To be better understand this phenomenon, first, the instructors have to be able to identify mental factor behind and consider to use the right model to tackle this problem. This research is about the implementation of learning model using laboratory after first identified students' personality types. The aim of this research is to know the influence of the learning model using the aid of laboratory compared with direct learning model conventional way. Furthermore, we would like to learn if there is a specific personality type such as introvert and extrovert that will absorb the learning process much faster than the other. This research was conducted in the even semester at Stikom Ambon College Ambon Maluku in the academic year 2016. The research design is treatment by block design (2x2), and the sample is 60 students. The data was gain from the result of learning which had been tried out for validity and reliability. The result of the data analysis indicates: (1)The learning model that use laboratory as a teaching aid gives better learning outcomes than direct learning in class only; (2) The finding suggests that there is no significant difference in the learning result for those with different personality types; (3) There is interaction between the learning model and personality types; (4) The finding suggests for those who have an extrovert personality had better learning result when taught with laboratory aid learning model instead of those with introvert personality; (5) The finding also suggests for those who have introvert personality had better learning result when taught with direct conventional learning model instead of those with extrovert personality; (6) the result of those with introvert personality is better if taught using direct conventional the learning model instead of using laboratory aid model; (7) finally the result of those with the extrovert personality is better if taught using an laboratory aid model instead of using direct conventional model.
