EFEKTIVITAS PEMBELAJARAN BERBASIS STUDENT CENTERED LEARNING (SCL) PADA MATERI PEMBIAKAN TANAMAN UNTUK MENINGKATAKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA KELAS X JURUSAN AGRIBISNIS TANAMAN PANGAN DI SMKN 3 SIDENRENG RAPPANG

Abstract

The learning process in schools needs to encourage students to be actively involved in order to improve learning outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the Student Centered Learning (SCL) approach in improving students’ learning outcomes in the Basic Plant Propagation subject among Grade X Agribusiness of Food Crops students at UPT SMKN 3 Sidenreng Rappang. This study employed a quantitative approach using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 25 students. Data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments and analyzed using descriptive analysis, normality testing, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the mean student learning outcome increased from 47.40 in the pretest to 70.60 in the posttest, representing an increase of 23.20 points. The paired sample t-test resulted in a significance value of 0.001 (<0.05), indicating a significant difference between students’ learning outcomes before and after the implementation of SCL. The N-Gain value was 0.51 or 51.1%, which was categorized as moderate, with the effectiveness interpretation classified as less effective. Therefore, the implementation of Student Centered Learning was able to significantly improve students’ learning outcomes in Basic Plant Propagation, although the level of improvement was not yet optimal. The findings indicate that SCL can be used as an alternative learning approach, particularly for learning activities that require active student participation, discussion, and practice.
