Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students through the use of interactive PowerPoint media in the subject of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS), specifically on the topic of “Seeing Because of Light, Hearing Because of Sound” at SDN 2 Kedarpan. The problem underlying this research was the low student achievement, where only 36% of students reached the minimum mastery criteria, while 64% had not achieved it due to teacher-centered learning and limited use of media. To address this issue, a Classroom Action Research (CAR) was conducted using the Kemmis and McTaggart model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection, carried out in two cycles. The research subjects were 25 students, consisting of 18 boys and 7 girls. Data collection techniques included observation, tests, and documentation, while instruments used were observation sheets, pretests, and posttests. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. In the first cycle, only 64% of students achieved mastery, while in the second cycle, more than 80% of students successfully reached the minimum criteria. These findings indicate that interactive PowerPoint media not only helped increase student motivation and participation but also contributed positively to learning outcomes. Therefore, interactive PowerPoint can be considered an effective alternative media to improve the quality of learning in elementary schools.
