Downloads
Background. This research was conducted to improve the learning outcomes of Natural Education (IPA) in grade IV students of State Elementary School (SD) 2 Sereang through the application of puzzles picture game. This method was chosen to improve students' understanding of the material on the function of human body tools.
Purpose. Describe the learning process of Natural Education (IPA) material on the function of human body tools through puzzles picture game in grade IV students of State Elementary School (SD) 2 Sereang. Describe the application of puzzles picture game in improving the learning outcomes of Natural Education (IPA) in grade IV students of State Elementary School (SD) 2 Sereang.
Method. This research is a classroom action research. The subjects of the study were 12 grade IV students of State Elementary School (SD) 2 Sereang in the odd semester of the 2019/2020 school year. The data collection method uses tests, observations, and documentation. The research instruments are in the form of tests and observation sheets. Data analysis uses quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques.
Results. There was an increase in the learning outcomes of Natural Education Sciences (IPA) students after the implementation of puzzle picture games. The average score increased from 62.8 to 68.4 in the first cycle (up 5.6%), and to 75.6 in the second cycle (up 7.2%). The percentage of students who obtained a score of ?70 increased from 33.3% to 50% in the first cycle, and 83.3% in the second cycle. The average student activity increased from 66.3 in the first cycle to 72.3 in the second cycle.
Conclusion. The application of puzzles picture games is effective in improving learning outcomes and student activities in learning Natural Education (IPA) material on the function of human body organs in grade IV students of State Elementary School (SD) 2 Sereang.
