Improving Student Learning Outcomes Through the Application of the Quantum Teaching Model Using Manipulative Media in the Basic Concepts of Geometry and Measurement Course

Abstract

Mathematics education, particularly in the field of geometry and measurement, has an important role in the
development of students' logical, analytical, and spatial thinking skills. However, in reality, many students of the
Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program (PGSD) still have difficulties in understanding the basic
concepts of geometry and measurement. The purpose of this study is to determine the improvement of student
learning outcomes after learning by applying the Quantum Teaching learning model using manipulative objects
in the Basic Concepts of Geometry and Measurement lecture in semester IIIA of the PGSD FKIP Study
Program, University of Bengkulu. The method used is a qualitative research method. This type of research is
classroom action research. The subjects of this study are 39 students in semester IIIA of the PGSD FKIP Unib
Study Program. This study uses test instruments to measure student learning outcomes. The test result data was
analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results showed that there was an increase in the average score
of the student learning outcome test from cycle I to cycle II, from 79 to 84. Completeness also increased from
74% in the first cycle to 90% in the second cycle.
