They tend to rely on conventional way such as using tutorial session after school. While the junior high school students who have been using e-learning platforms got a lot of benefits such as: effective learning, mathematics subject becomes easier to understand and learning math is more fun. Their mathematics score also increases. Some aspects which influence it are innovation, engagement and collaboration. Overall, this research shown that web-based learning adoption in helps junior high school students in Bandung have a good potential to improve learning ability, especially in mathematics subject.
