Place and Time of Research Research Design

6. Being able to defend his opinion. 7. Not easy to let go of these beliefs. 8. Diligence to locate and troubleshoot problems. 2. Accounting Learning Achievement Focus in this research was accounting learning achevement. The accounting learning achievement in this research is the result of students after doing an accounting learning activity which was evidenced by the score derived from student s’ accounting exam. The learning achievement was obtained by the presence of a number through the assessment test. The test form pre test and postest previously made the blue print. A form of test is multiple choice and essay. After the cycle of research carried out, the results of the achievements of each cycle was compared. In this research researcher measured the cognitive aspect of learning achievements in the form of knowledge C1, understanding C2, application C3, and analysis C4. The reason researchers only measured learning achievements in the cognitive aspect because cognitive aspect is the most valued by teachers in schools because related to the ability of the students in mastering the teaching materials. Besides the limitations of time and effort of the researcher and observer to measure learning achievements in affective aspect and psychomotor aspect. 3. Blended Learning Based on Social Media Edmodo Blended learning is a learning model that exploited information technology in online and face-to-face learning. The blended learning approach seems to be most applicable to learning that was focused on a single topic, or closely related topics. Areas that require in-depth study that are hard to synthesize and master in a time-limited conference are also good candidates for blended learning. Blended learning is also better oriented to how adults learn. Adults learn most effectively when they get to apply knowledge in their own work environment and then get to reflect on that experience and ask questions of their peers and subject matter experts Ward and LaBranche, 2003: 4.

E. Data Collection Techniques

1. Written test According to Linn dan Gronlund in Sudaryono, dkk 2013: 63 “Test is an instrument of systematic procedure for measuring a sample of behavior by posing a set of questions in a uniform manner. Because a test a form of assessment, test also answer the questions how well does the individual perform either in comparison with others or in comparison with a domain of performance task”. Tests using two forms, namely, test objectives and essay. These tests used a researcher to find out students ability in the material being taught. 2. Documentation According to Suharsimi Arikunto 2010:274, documentation that is looking for data on matters or variable in the form of notes, transcripts, books, newspapers, magazines, inscriptions, minutes of meetings, agenda, lengger, etc. The document was used during the learning process using blended learning is field notes. Other documentation is a photo while learning. The documentation was used to obtain data of the students at the time of the initial observations. 3. Questionnaire Questionnaire is data collection technique by giving a set of statements or written questions to the respondents to answer Sugiyono, 2010:199. Questionnaire was distributed to the students during each cycle after the implementation of Blended Learning model based on social media Edmodo as a measurement means of learning motivation.

F. Research Instruments

The research instruments that was used in this study i.e. test and non-test. Description of the instruments are: 1. Tests Tests that was conducted is a cognitive test, namely the technique that was used in order to carry out the measurements, which were a variety of questions or a series of tasks that must be carried out to measure a learner cognitive aspects. Tests used in the form of a written test were multiple choice and essay. The tests were to be tested in the form of pre test and post test. Pre test was given every start delivery of new material. While the post test is an evaluation learning activity at the end of each learning process. Then the results of pre test and post test was compared. As for the blueprint of pre test and post test are as follows:
