PENERAPAN MODEL TGT BERBANTUAN EDUCAPLAY UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN KOLABORASI DAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA KELAS IV PADA MATA PELAJARAN MATEMATIKA

Abstract

The low level of collaboration skills and mathematics learning outcomes among fourth-grade students represents a problem requiring an instructional innovation capable of fostering student engagement and cooperation. This study aims to: (1) describe the implementation of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model assisted by Educaplay in fourth-grade mathematics lessons; (2) improve students' collaboration skills through the implementation of this model; and (3) enhance student learning outcomes following the implementation of the Educaplay-assisted TGT model. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) project conducted over two cycles, with each cycle comprising the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 16 fourth-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah I Purworejo. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, tests, and documentation, which were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results indicate that the implementation of the Educaplay-assisted TGT model was carried out successfully in accordance with the model's instructional syntax. Students' collaboration skills improved from 51% in the pre-cycle stage to 61% in Cycle I and 84% in Cycle II. The percentage of learning mastery also increased from 31% in the pre-cycle stage to 81% in Cycle I and 94% in Cycle II. Thus, the Educaplay-assisted Teams Games Tournament (TGT) learning model is effective in improving the collaboration skills and mathematics learning outcomes of fourth-grade students, particularly regarding the topics of area and volume unit measurements.
