Comparison of the Effectiveness of Zoom Meeting and Google Meet Applications in Improving Students' Presentation Skills

Abstract

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two video conferencing platforms, Zoom Meeting and Google Meet, in improving students' presentation skills. The research method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach. The research subjects are students divided into two groups, each using Zoom Meeting and Google Meet as online presentation media. The instruments used include a presentation skills questionnaire that has been validated and reliability-tested, as well as an observation sheet for presentation performance. Data analysis was conducted using an independent t-test to determine significant differences between the two groups. The results showed a significant difference between the use of Zoom Meeting and Google Meet in improving students' presentation skills (p < 0.05), with the Zoom Meeting group showing higher average results. These findings indicate that selecting the appropriate video conferencing platform can contribute to the development of students' communication skills in the digital learning era.
