Contribution of student independence and digital skills to learning outcomes

This study aims to determine the contribution of students’ independence and digital skills to learning outcomes. This type of research is non-experimental using quantitative data. The population in this study were all 3rd semester students majoring in Biology at the State University of Medan for the academic year 2020/2021 who were studying microbiology consisting of 6 classes of 180 people and samples and the sample in this study consisted of 3 classes of 60 collage studets who were taken randomly using random sampling technique. This research is a non-experimental research that uses quantitative data. To describe the correlation between variable X and variable Y. In this study, the independent variables are learning independence (X1), and digital skills (X2). While the dependent variable is learning outcomes (Y1) for 3rd semester students majoring in Biology, Medan State University for the 2020/2021 Academic Year. In this research design each variable of learning independence (High, Medium, Low), digital skills (High, Medium, Low) is associated with the dependent variable of learning outcomes (High, Medium, Low). The data analysis technique in this study was carried out using inferential statistics. The results in this study are the coefficient of determination R2 of 0.237, then learning independence contributes to student learning outcomes in the microbiology course of FMIPA UNIMED in the new normal period of 23.7% with the contribution was low category, and the value of the coefficient of determination R2 of 0.255, digital skills contribute on student learning outcomes in the microbiology course, FMIPA UNIMED in the new normal period of 25.5% with the contribution was low category. This research can provide deeper insight into independent learning and digital skills and student learning outcomes regarding History, Scope of Microbiology and Microbial Cell Structure.
