PENINGKATAN DISIPLIN SISWA MELALUI METODE REWARD AND PUNISHMENT DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA DI MI CIBOLANG KIDUL

Abstract

This study aims to improve student discipline in mathematics learning through the

application of the reward and punishment method at MI Cibolang Kidul. Student

discipline is one of the important factors in the success of the teaching and learning

process, especially in mathematics subjects that require high concentration and

perseverance. The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR)

with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and

reflection stages. The subjects of the study were grade 3 students of MI Cibolang

Kidul. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and

questionnaires. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student

discipline after the implementation of the reward and punishment method. This

increase can be seen from the more punctual student attendance, compliance with

class rules, and active participation in learning. In conclusion, the reward and

punishment method is effective in improving student discipline in mathematics

learning and can be used as an alternative strategy in classroom management.
