ABSTRACT
Dewi Sahfitri Tanjung. The Effect of Edutainment on Students Learning Outcome, Motivation and Retention on Human Regulatory System Grade XI-IA of SMAN 1 Tebing Tinggi Academic Year 2012/2013. Undergraduate Thesis. Universitas Negeri Medan. 2013.
A pedagogical strategy that aims to entertain while providing educational content, known as “Edutainment (Education + Entertainment)” , has recently developed as a rescue instructional style aimed at increasing students motivation in the classroom and affected students learning outcome and retain the information in long term memory. By accenting lectures with slides, animation, or multimedia productions, a sound-bite generation is lured into engaging with theoretical disciplinary topics. This research is done to answer the questions if Edutainment has effect on students learning outcome, motivation and retention. To answer this questions, research was held in SMAN 1 Tebing Tinggi. The population was all of the XI Science students. Sample was taken randomly with the cluster process (cluster random sampling). The research used this sampling because the classes were homogen. The proof that the class was homogen by doing pretest to decide the experimental class and control class. The method used in learning outcome test was by giving 25 multiple choice questions to students to measure students cognitive knowledge, while students motivation was measured by giving 20 questionaire to students. After one week of observation, teacher tested students retention by giving equal questions with post test. The result of this research obtained that average of students learning outcome in using Edutainment 87.43, it was higher compared with the result of students learning outcome with traditional method 80.61. It was also proved by hypothesis test that stated Ha was accepted. While to proof the effect of Edutainment on students motivation, the average score of experiment and control class were compared. The result, students learning using Edutainment 83.14 was higher compared with the result of students motivation with traditional method 79.03, Ha was accepted. In spite of it, the information given by teacher can be retained until the next week by experiment class, with score 86.63. Compared with control class, the score after one week was descreased into 79.88. This result showed that control class cannot retain the information because most of the method used only lecturing by teacher. So, it can be concluded that Edutainment has positive effect on students learning outcome, motivation and retention on human regulatory system oin grade XI Science SMAN. 1 Tebing Tinggi Academic Year 2012/2013.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
5.1 Conclusion
Because the research result and discussion have been described in the previous chapter, the research conclusions can be drawn as follows:
1. There is an effect of Edutainmetn on students’ learning outcome on human regulatory system for grade XI-IA of SMAN 1 Tebing Tinggi academic year 2012/2013. The students’ learning outcome in experimental and control class is significantly different, where students learning outcome in experimental class that taught with Edutainment is higher than students in control class that taught with traditional strategy.
2. There is an effect of Edutainment on students’ motivation on human regulatory system for grade XI-IA SMAN 1 Tebing Tinggi academic year 2012/2013. Motivation of students in experimental class that taught with Edutainment showed better results than students in control class that taught with traditional strategy.
3. There is an effect of Edutainment on students’ retention on human regulatory system topic for grade XI-IA SMAN 1 Tebing Tinggi academic year 2012/2013. Students’ retention in experimental class that taught with Edutainment is better than students’ retention in control class that taught with traditional strategy.
5.2. Recommendation
Looking at the findings, conclusions and the discussion of the results, the following is presented some suggestions that expected to be meaningful to all parties who use this research information, both as literature and / or for the benefit of advanced research, among others:
teachers in their respective schools, should be revised in accordance with the characteristics of learners and real conditions of classrooms where learning takes place.
2. Animation and video used in Edutainment still needs to be reviewed and sorted and come with questions that can stimulate students thinking skills. 3. Edutainment strategy result can be influenced by factors that have not been
