Penggunaan Media Konkret dalam Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Peserta Didik Kelas II Pada Materi Pecahan di SDIT Al Qonita

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of mathematics fraction material through the use of concrete media in grade II students of SDIT Al Qonita Palangka Raya. This research is a Classroom Action Research (PTK) conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 25 grade II students. The instruments used included teacher and student activity observation sheets, and multiple choice test questions to measure student learning outcomes. In the pre-action stage, only 40% of students reached mastery. After the action in cycle I, learning completeness increased to 64%, and in cycle II it reached 84%. These results show a significant increase in students' ability to solve multiple choice questions through a learning approach using concrete media such as replicas of cakes and balls. The use of concrete media proved effective in helping students understand the concept of fractions in a contextual and fun way. In addition, teacher and student activities during learning also improved and were in the excellent category. The quantitative improvement is supported by the average N-Gain score of 0.48, which falls into the moderate category. Based on these results, it can be concluded that concrete media makes a positive contribution to improving elementary school students' mathematics learning outcomes, especially on fraction materials. Therefore, concrete media can be used as an alternative learning strategy that is suitable for the characteristics of low-grade students to improve understanding of the concept of fractions.
