Implementation of Problem Based Learning Model to Improve Science Learning Outcomes of Grade V Elementary School Students

Abstract

Natural Sciences (IPA) is one of the most important subjects in elementary school, allowing students to exploit students and think logically, analytically, systematically, critically and creatively. Studying natural sciences in elementary school should provide students with hands-on experience to develop their ability to learn scientifically and understand the natural environment. The reality is that science learning in elementary schools is still traditional and usually focused on teachers, so students are less active in the learning process. This study aims to obtain data on improving cognitive learning outcomes of IPAS by applying the Problem Based Learning model assisted by mind mapping in grade V of SDN Tanjung Barat 07 South Jakarta. The research is carried out with Class Action Research (PTK) which consists of 2 cycles each cycle consists of 4 stages, namely planning, action, observation and reflection. The results of the study showed that the percentage of data obtained on students' learning outcomes in the first cycle was 74.19%. In cycle II, there was a significant increase of 87.09%. Meanwhile, the data for monitoring learning actions using the Problem Based Learning model in the first cycle was 89.41% and in the second cycle increased to 100%. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that using the Problem Based Learning model can improve students' learning outcomes in science learning. The conclusion is that IPAS learning using the Problem Based Learning model can be used to improve the learning outcomes of students in grade V of e elementary school Tanjung Barat 07 South Jakarta.
