PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MEMILAH SAMPAH ORGANIK DAN ANORGANIK MELALUI MEDIA DRAG AND DROP WORDWALL PADA MURID KELAS IV SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

The ability to distinguish between organic and inorganic waste is the foundation for proper waste sorting. However, some fourth-grade students still have difficulty sorting waste samples into the correct categories. This classroom action research (PTK) aims to improve fourth-grade students’ ability to distinguish and sort organic and inorganic waste using the Wordwall drag-and-drop tool. The research subjects were 22 fourth-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah 23 Semanggi. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation, written tests, and documentation, then analyzed quantitatively and descriptively, using a classical mastery rate of 80% as the indicator of success. The mastery rate increased from 13.64% (3 students) in the pre-cycle to 18.18% (4 students) in Cycle I, and reached 95.45% (21 students) in Cycle II, thereby meeting the success indicator. The lowest score increased from 20 to 50. This is because the activities in Cycle II also included explanations of waste types, contextual examples, clearer instructions, discussions, and guidance from the teacher. The improvement was certainly due to a series of activities, not just the use of media.
