Abstract

An experimental design is the right choice for education researchers to find out the influence of a factor toward other factors. In practice, some researchers still have difficulties. This study intends to determine the understanding and difficulties of prospective teachers in research activities using experimental design. The researcher used a qualitative descriptive type of research with the sample of the study were the prospective teachers in STKIP PGRI Pacitan who researched using an experimental design in the 2018/2019 academic year. The average researcher examined the effect of learning methods toward student learning outcomes of elementary school, junior high school, and senior high school. Data collection used documentation and interview techniques. Data were analyzed through several stages, and the results showed that prospective teachers had a fairly good understanding of the pre-study and were increasingly understanding after conducting the research process. The researcher experienced initial difficulties in using statistical methods for analyzing data as well as difficulties in controlling the influence of other factors outside the specified research variables. In the design aspect of the experiment, the researcher assumed that the more factors studied were more complicated so they chose the experimental design with 2-3 factors. Regarding the results of this study, differences in students’ initial abilities, such as the level of understanding, intelligence, attention, and response of students need more attention.
