Data were collected through tests related to learning outcomes in the form of essay questions, which were then analyzed to see differences in learning outcomes. The results of the analysis showed that in Cycle I, the average score of students with the conventional method was 75.8, while in Cycle II, the use of animated video media produced an average score of 79.8, which was included in the medium category.
