Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the EarthComm learning model on the spatial thinking abilities of students at SMAN 16 Bandar Lampung. To achieve this objective, this study used a one-group pre-test post-test design with a quantitative approach. The population in this study consisted of 325 students, while the sample was determined using purposive sampling. The sample in this study, which became the experimental class, consisted of 32 students from class XI.F2. Data collection techniques used closed questionnaires, pre-tests and post-tests based on spatial thinking indicators, observation sheets, and documentation. To analyze the data obtained, normality tests, linearity tests, and paired sample t-tests were used. The results of this study show that there is an effect of using the EarthComm model on the spatial thinking abilities of students in class XI.F2 at SMAN 16 Bandar Lampung. This is proven by the paired sample t-test on the pre-test and post-test compiled using spatial thinking ability indicators. A significance value of 0.000 was obtained in the paired sample t-test, which means that H1 is accepted
