Learning with Interactive E-Worksheets: A One-Group Pretest-Posttest Study in Secondary Sociology

Abstract

This one-group pretest–posttest study examines learning change in a sociology class using a Liveworksheet-based electronic student worksheet (E-LKPD) alongside Problem-Based Learning. Thirty-six students in class F4 at SMA Negeri 12 Padang completed a 20-item multiple-choice test before and after instruction on social problems arising from social grouping. The mean score increased from 57.91 to 78.89, a raw gain of 20.98 points. The reported significance test should be interpreted cautiously because the statistical table used an independent-samples procedure even though the same students completed both measurements. The article therefore emphasizes the observed mean change and the instructional process rather than making a stronger causal claim than the design supports. The curricular role of the worksheet is understood as part of instructional design rather than as an isolated technology (Ansyar, 2015), while the pretest–posttest structure follows a conventional classroom research logic (Arikunto, 2009). The findings support cautious use of interactive worksheets as part of a broader problem-based instructional sequence.
