ANALISIS MINAT BELAJAR PESERTA DIDIK TERHADAP MATA PELAJARAN PENDIDIKAN PANCASILA PADA PESERTA DIDIK KELAS 1D SD NEGERI 008 SAMARINDA ULU

Abstract

This study aimed to describe students’ learning interest in Pancasila Education among Grade 1D students at SD Negeri 008 Samarinda Ulu. The study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. The subjects consisted of the Grade 1D classroom teacher and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that students’ learning interest was generally fairly good. This condition was reflected in six indicators: feelings of interest and enjoyment in learning, active participation, tendency to pay attention, high concentration, positive feelings and increasing willingness to learn, and comfort during learning. Interesting learning media, teacher motivation, classroom management, and a conducive learning atmosphere supported students’ interest. However, participation was not yet evenly distributed, and several students still had difficulty maintaining attention and concentration during longer learning activities. The findings indicate that learning interest should not be viewed only from general enthusiasm but examined through observable behaviors across several indicators. The study provides an empirical description of learning interest among lower-grade elementary students in Pancasila Education and may serve as a reference for teachers in designing engaging and age-appropriate learning.
