PENERAPAN MEDIA DIORAMA SIKLUS AIR UNTUK MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR IPAS PADA MATERI PROSES SIKLUS AIR SISWA KELAS V SDN GENDONGAN 01

Abstract

This classroom action research aimed to improve learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS), particularly on the water cycle processes, through the use of diorama media among fifth-grade students at SDN Gendongan 01. The study employed a descriptive approach combining quantitative and qualitative methods and was conducted in two cycles following a pre-cycle stage. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research subjects comprised 26 students. Data were collected from learning achievement test scores and student activity observation sheets. The average learning outcome increased from 58.85 in the pre-cycle to 80.38 in Cycle I and 90.00 in Cycle II. The number of students scoring above 75 increased from 6 students (23.08%) to 17 students (65.38%) and 23 students (88.46%), respectively. The average student activity level also increased from 45.1% in the pre-cycle to 63.8% in Cycle I and 86.7% in Cycle II. In Cycle II, all students (26 students, or 100%) achieved the good activity category. These findings indicate improvements in learning outcomes and student activity during the implementation of diorama media. Three students still required follow-up support based on their test results.
