Advances in information technology provide a fairly rapid influence in
the world of education to improve learning outcomes where the use of
IT makes it easier for users to use it anywhere and anytime. One of the
desires of students or parents for children's learning outcomes is to
obtain optimal grades and be able to support them to achieve their
goals. One way is by adding learning through online learning
applications that are available in various types. Therefore, researchers
want to find out more about the effectiveness of learning through online
learning applications. The aim is to find out whether or not the use of
online learning applications is effective in improving student learning
outcomes at school X Jakarta. The research method used is descriptive
quantitative with data collection techniques through the distribution of
questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation.
Respondents were selected by purposive sampling and totaled 40
respondents. The data received will be processed carefully so that the
research results show that online learning applications have an
effectiveness valued in improving student learning outcomes and the
effectiveness of learning through online learning applications is quite
good.

Introduction
Education is the frontline in shaping and improving the quality of human
resources (Cintamulya, 2015) in a country so that it can compete in the national and
international realms considering the large population and rapid technological advances
(Lilawati, 2020), then Education will undoubtedly have an influence on the absorption
of society in an aspiring job amid technological currents All sophisticated in providing
benefits for mankind (Rohida, 2018) in the era of 4.0 and 5.0.
The achievement of educational goals indeed cannot be separated from the role of
parents (Erzad, 2018) as primary education in the family environment (Agustin Liawati,
2020). Not a few parents continue to monitor the development of children's learning
outcomes and pay attention to children's development patterns (Hendarti Pramono,
2013) (Nuratika & Ridha, 2021) so that they can achieve the desired goals amid endless
competition.
Therefore, even though learning hours at school are quite busy, it can improve the
thinking of parents and students to continue to obtain learning from anywhere and

anytime to gain more understanding to improve their existence as a basis for achieving
the ideals that have been touted.
One way to improve learning outcomes is through online learning applications
(Dewi, Atmojo, & Saputri, 2021) (Awalia, Pratiwi, & Kironoratri, 2021) which are
widely spread on play stores both paid and free. The use of this online learning
application is quite crowded, especially with increasingly rapid technological advances
where one application and another application are competing with each other to provide
superior service for its users. Moreover, this era is the new normal or post-COVID-19
era where learning was previously carried out online or remotely (Julianti, Iskandar,
Hamdani, & Nurlaila, 2022).
Online learning applications are programs or devices that can be used through
gadgets or computers with the help of the internet (Wilson, 2020) to provide additional
learning that can be accessed anywhere and anytime.
Online learning applications are quite varied and available on the Play Store both
paid and free. Of course, paid and free applications have differences in the freedom of
access to learning (Mulyani, 2022). Currently, online learning applications are loved by
many students because learning is considered flexible and easy to help improve student
learning outcomes. As observed in school X Jakarta 40 students use online learning
applications as a way to obtain additional information about learning materials at school
(Yusuf, 2021).
Therefore, based on the explanation above, researchers want to know more about
"The effectiveness of learning through online learning applications". The purpose of this
study is to obtain information about the effectiveness or failure of the use of online
learning applications in learning as seen through student learning outcomes at school X
Jakarta (Mannong, 2020). Researchers hope that the results of this study can later
contribute to future research.
Research Methods
The type of research used is descriptive quantitative where the results of research
in the form of numbers will be explained through easy-to-understand sentences (Salim,
2019). Data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and
distribution of questionnaires with measurement scales used to analyze questionnaires
using the Likert scale with four answer selections as follows:

The number of respondents in this study was 40 obtained through purposive
sampling, namely users of online learning applications at school X Jakarta. The choice
of school X Jakarta as the object of research is because this school is one of the schools
with a diverse economy of parents but is one of the favorite schools in Jakarta.
Results and Discussion
Quality learning is a hope for all people in Indonesia, especially in the midst of
endless competition. If the ability is below average, it will be left behind and eroded by
the times. This situation requires parents and students to synergize and increase
creativity in improving learning outcomes as one of the proofs of improving the quality
of learning received. One of the efforts is to follow learning in online learning
applications. Based on the results of the study, it is known that the number of students
in school X who use online learning applications is 40 with the distribution of data on
gender aspects as follows:

The data above shows that the number of students who use online learning
applications is dominated by women with a value of 25 students and men 15 students.
The results showed that 40 respondents came from different classes but remained
on the same goal of improving learning outcomes. It is known that before the
respondents used online learning applications, the average value of learning outcomes

was quite varied, some were low below KKM and some were already high above KKM.
In more detail, the average data of students before and after using online learning
applications as follows with KKM 75:

The data above shows that student learning outcomes before and after using
online learning applications have increased even though there are still those who are
below KKM. This is because each student has different abilities and passions, some
excel in academics and some excel in non-academics. With this, the effectiveness rate
of online learning applications is 45% with sufficient categories. This is because before
using online learning applications, only 50% of students completed KKM, while after
becoming users of online learning applications, it increased to 95% of students
completed KKM (Arif & Rosdiana, 2021).
After further investigation, respondents who are still under KKM are some of the
students who have abilities in non-academic fields. Nevertheless, the learning outcomes
also increase and they may continue to increase if they consistently use online learning
applications.
When illustrated through the diagram is as follows.
Figure 1: Average data on student learning outcomes before and after using online
learning applications.
The types of online learning applications used by students vary, some use the
teacher's room, Genius, Incandescent, Quipper, and so on according to the wishes of
each student. In an interview conducted with TH that he uses the teacher's room to study
online. This is different from kindergartens that use quippers to learn online. This

difference certainly does not provide problems because students can still learn through a
variety of online learning applications that are of interest.
In addition, learning with online applications can increase students' sense of
pleasure as said by CK that he feels happy with the presence of online learning
applications because the use of gadgets he has is more optimal not only for editing or
playing games but also for learning easily. The same thing was conveyed by TR and
WY that initially they used gadgets only to play games. However, because of the online
learning application and parental direction, the use of gadgets becomes more optimal
because they are used for learning. The above information is a result of the research as
follows:

The data above shows that the percentage of students who are happy with learning
through online applications is 75% and the rest say they are not happy. After being
examined, it turns out that 25% who disagree are still new to online applications so they
need to adapt and increase their learning motivation.
Increasing learning motivation can be done by finding friends with the same goals
or fellow users of online learning applications so that the motivation becomes more
awakened and the desire to be consistent is stronger.
Regarding the effectiveness of using online applications based on the results of
the study, a figure of 45% was obtained where this value was obtained from student
learning outcomes data before and after using online learning applications to improve
their learning outcomes. This is in line with research conducted by Siti Zahara that
learning carried out through one of the learning applications, namely schoology, can
increase student learning motivation so that it has a positive influence on learning at
MAN 9 Banda Aceh and has an impact on improving student learning outcomes
(Zahara, 2020).
Currently, learning outcomes are important things that are often used as a
benchmark to assess students' abilities in their academic fields where the academic field
is always a consideration in continuing education or getting a job.
With this, it is known that online learning applications are quite effective in student
learning at school X Jakarta and it is hoped that these students can spread and invite
other colleagues to continue learning outside school learning hours through various
Rendi Brahma Fahrezi, Sukma Hendrian, Siti Ainul Kholipah

desired ways such as online learning applications that are easily accessible anywhere
and anytime.
Conclusion
Learning is one of the information delivery activities that is not only carried out in
the classroom but can also be done outside the classroom. The results of learning quality
are seen in student learning outcomes data. Amid dense competition, every student is
competing to obtain high learning outcomes in the hope that their future opportunities
will be brighter. One way to improve learning outcomes is to use online learning
applications with gadgets owned.
After conducting research, information was obtained that online learning
applications provide an increase in learning outcomes by 45% so it is declared quite
effective in learning. Therefore, researchers provide advice to all parents or guardians of
students to continue to pay attention to children's growth and development both in
academic and non-academic aspects and always provide support for harder and higher
quality learning. In addition, researchers also hope that all students have a responsibility
on themselves to bring themselves to quality learning outcomes by their passion and
researchers hope that the results of this study can contribute ideas to future research.
