interesting to be discussed nowadays, as it is believed that using the suitable teaching
media is could increase the student’s achievement in chemistry especially in acid base
solution. Variation of teaching and learning methods is needed on the teaching of acid
base to make them competence in chemistry concepts. The aimed of the research is to
enhance students’ understanding on acid base concepts by using web as a teaching and
learning media that lead to the improvement of students’ achievement. The study is
conducted in SMA Binjai, at academic 2013/2014. Experiment class is taught by using
web based facility that is design by the researcher, where conventional teaching is given
to control class. Students achievement are measured by using a set of standar multiple
choice test through their ability to answer the chemistry problems. The result show that
students achievement in experimental class by using web based learning (M=74.0±6.81)
is found higher than that in control class (M=64.5±8.87), and both are significantly different
(ttest 3.80 > ttable 2.10). The reason for this fact is because using web based learning give
new innovative and interesting way in learning.

1. INTRODUCTION
Implementation of web based learning (WBL) in teaching and learning process is very
interesting to be discussed as it is believed that using the suitable teaching media is could
interesting the student’s achievement in chemistry especially in acid base solution.
Teaching acid base subject in high school is still facing problems, such students who still
have difficulty in understanding acid base concepts and learning outcomes that have not
reached a minimum completeness criterion that have been established school. Therefore,
need for a better learning model that can enhance student’s understanding of acid base
concepts and learning outcomes are improved as well. Learning model which developed
in this study is a web based E-learning model.
One of the application is very popular internet service are World Wide Web (WWW),
so it seems the internet is just the web, world wide web is often called the greatest web is
a collection of documentations stored in different servers connected to a network. It was
developed in hypertext format using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). This format is
made possible through the link from a document to another document. Beside these
facilities are multimedia, comprising a combination of elements of text, photos, graphic,
audio, animation and video (Isjoni, 2008: 14). Internet has a lot of facilities that can be
used in various fields, including in educational activities. The facilities include: E-mail,
Telnet, Internet Relay Chat, Newsgroup, Mailing List, Blog, or the World Wide Web
(WWW) (Oos M, Anwar: 2003).
Web based learning is defined as learning through the internet, intranet, and web
pages only. However, the term e-learning and online is often equated with web based
learning the concept of web based learning which is an ICT based e-learning as outlined
in the digital format with certain principles and methods that can be as a medium of open
sources of interactive learning that enables students to learn individually or collaboratively
either through internet applications. Through the medium of based of web based learning
teaching materials can be accessed anytime and from anywhere, in addition to the
material can also be enriched with a variety of learning resources including multimedia.
Media web based learning can be developed from the very simple to the complex.
Most web based learning media only built to showcase a collection of material, while
the question and answer discussion forums or through e-mail or mailing list.
Implementation with the way counted as a web based learning media simplest. Besides,
there are also media integrated web based learning, in the form of e-learning portal that
provides a variety of learning objects are enriched with multimedia and integrated with
academic information systems, evaluation, communication, discussion, and a variety of
other tools educational (Herman Dwi Surjono, 2008: 1).
2. METHODOLOGY
The research is conducted experimentally by using research is followed the
procedure that explained in Situmorang, (2010). An intervention method in this research is
carried out to investigate the effect implementation teaching method of web based
learning to increase student’s achievement compare to conventional method in teaching
of chemistry topic on acid base solution.
The research conducted in SMA N 5 Binjai, North Sumatera, Indonesia at
curriculum 2013/2014. The population of the study is high school of science, the sample
divided into two classes is class XI-2 and XI-3 where the class XI-2 is experimental class
with using web based learning and class XI-3 is control class use conventional method. In
experimental class use web based learning where the researcher using the blog to
explanation the topic simply of acid base solution to increase student’s achievement and
to easier achieve the explanation of the topic. The researcher chosen the blog in the
research of implementation of web based learning because it is easier to student achieves
the topic and better known of students.
Research procedures on the implementation of web based learning on teaching
acid base solution are arranging the research instrument, treatment teaching, and
evaluation. In class IX-2 conducted treatment teaching was use web (blog) in teaching
learning process where the blog showed to student in front of the class about all of the
topic acid base solution while in class IX-3 was conducted conventional method in
teaching learning process. In evaluation of the research procedure using the pretest and
posttest. Pretest is conducted to improve the student’s understanding on the subject being
though for experimental class and control class. And posttest was done at the end of the
teaching to get the data of the students’ achievement on chemistry specific in acid base
solution.
3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Student’s Achievement on Chemistry before and using Teaching Treatment
The student’s achievements on chemistry before teaching treatment were obtained
from the evaluation test given to the student at the beginning of the teaching activity
(pretest) Situmorang, et.all. (2009). Pretest is also used to know the degree of
homogeneity of the data being used in the study. The evaluation result that obtained from
the amount of 10 questions in pretest and posttest. The question is different in pretest and
posttest, the sample of the student had got is 20 students in experimental class and
control class. The student’s result from pretest and posttest for both experimental class
and control class have been collected as presented in Table 1. Based on the result of
evaluation the students in pretest, experimental class higher than control class, but
averages of student still have low understanding in chemistry especially the subject of
acid base solution. Result of study of students in experimental class (M=51.0±11.65) and
control class (M=43.0±16.25) and they are not significant different and they are not
significant differently with (ttest 1.79 < ttable 2.10).

Result of posttest evaluation in experimental class using the treatment of web
based learning but in control class is conventional teaching. It is known that the student’s
achievement tough using web based learning (M=74.0±6.81) is higher than that the
control class (M=64.5±8.87), where both methods are significantly different (ttest 3.80 > ttable
2.10) that showed in table 2. The influences by using web based learning or blog in this
treatment teaching onto student’s achievement on the teaching of chemistry in topic of
acid base solution have been evaluated and after using the treatment by using web based
learning improve the student’s achievement and increasing after that.

so in the experimental class are significantly different to a control class where the t test 3.80
> ttable 2.10. Therefore, the research continues to the see the influence of implementation
of web based learning to the teaching chemistry especially the topic of acid base solution.
3.2 The Influence of Implementation of Web Based Learning to Increase the
Student’s Achievement
The effect of web based learning towards student’s achievement can be seen after
an action has been done in the teaching method. Evaluation in the first step post test has
been done to know the students ability on solving problem on the subject acid base
solution. The data showed that there was increasing progress of student’s achievement
after the students have been taught with the implementation web based learning. It was
also known the student’s achievement in experimental class different with the one in a
control class. The student’s achievement in the first post test, it is experimental class has
been obtained higher in the experimental class compare the control class, with the
average value for experimental class is M=74.0±6.81 than the average of control class
M=64.5±8.87, it is significant difference of student’s achievement that showed in the t test
3.80 > ttable 2.10. It means, the understanding of students is increase in the teaching of acid
base solution.
While, in the pre test is not significant difference because the student’s answer is
low in the first evaluation, pretest. The average value for experimental class
M=51.0±11.65 is higher compare the control class M=43.0±16.25 but the significant
difference showed ttest 1.79 < ttable 2.10. The result of data analyze on the past test showed
that there is increasing improve of student’s achievement after giving the treatment is web
based learning or blog.
4. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
The implementation of web based learning on the teaching acid base solution is
found improve to increase the student’s achievement on chemistry. The student’s
achievement on chemistry by using web based learning (M=74.0±6.81) is found higher
than that by using conventional method (M=64.5±8.87) and the significant different was
found at ttest 3.80 > ttable 2.10, but in the first evaluation is found no significant different
because ttest 1.79 < ttable 2.10, the t calculation lower than t table. Increasing the student’s
achievement in chemistry subject is related to their interest and improves in learning
process results from the teaching treatment with web based learning. It is suggested to
teacher to use the web based learning in teaching of acid base solution because able to
increase the student’s achievement and will give more interest and new innovative in way
learning than conventional method.
