PENINGKATAN HASIL BELAJAR IPAS MATERI SIKLUS HIDUP HEWAN MELALUI MEDIA POSTER BERBANTUAN CANVA PADA SISWA KELAS III DI SD NEGERI 3 RENDANG

Abstract

ABSTRACT

This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes in the subject of Animal Life Cycles among third-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Rendang. The study aims to improve student learning outcomes through the use of Canva-assisted posters combined with the Discovery Learning model. The research design employed was Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted over two cycles. Each cycle consisted of the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this study were 16 third-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Rendang. Data collection techniques included tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results of the study indicate that the use of Canva-assisted poster media combined with the Discovery Learning model can improve student learning outcomes. This is evident from the improvement in learning outcomes in each cycle. In the initial condition, the average student learning outcome was 72.56 with a classical mastery rate of 43.75%. In Cycle I, it increased to an average of 80.62 with a classical mastery rate of 68.75%. Subsequently, in Cycle II, it increased to an average of 82.81 with a classical mastery rate of 81.25%. In addition to improving learning outcomes, the implementation of the Discovery Learning model using Canva-created posters also made students more active, enthusiastic, and confident, and helped them better understand the material on the life cycles of animals because the lessons were presented in a visual, concrete, and engaging manner. Thus, the use of Canva-created posters combined with the Discovery Learning model was effective in improving the science learning outcomes of third-grade students at SD Negeri 3 Rendang.
