ANALSIS IMPLEMENTASI MEDIA EVALUASI PLCKERS DALAM MENINGKATKAN KEAKTIFAN SISWA MATA PELAJARAN AKIDAH AKHLAK DI MIN 1 SUMENEP

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Plickers evaluation media and to analyze its role in increasing the activeness of fifth-grade students in Akidah Akhlak learning at MIN 1 Sumenep. The research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data collection techniques included classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and supporting documentation. The findings indicate that the use of Plickers as a formative evaluation medium is able to enhance students’ activeness evenly, as reflected in the participation of all students in answering questions, increased focus and attention during learning activities, and reduced student anxiety toward evaluation sessions. The implementation of Plickers allows students to participate through non-verbal responses, enabling previously passive students to remain actively involved. The discussion of the findings shows alignment with active learning theory and formative assessment theory, which emphasize student engagement and timely feedback in the learning process. Supporting factors for the implementation of Plickers include teacher readiness, the suitability of the media to school facilities, the characteristics of elementary school students, and curriculum support. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors are technical and temporary in nature, such as time constraints and students’ initial adaptation, which can be minimized through habituation. This study concludes that Plickers is effective as an alternative evaluation medium to increase student activeness in Akidah Akhlak learning at the elementary school level.
