THE APPLICATION OF PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL) WITH WORDWALL MEDIA TO IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES ON FRACTION MATERIAL IN CLASS 5 SDN 27 BANDA ACEH

Abstract

This research aims to improve students' learning outcomes on fraction materials through the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model with Wordwall media in class VI SD Negeri 27 Banda Aceh. Based on initial observations, it was found that the low learning outcomes of students on fraction materials were the main problem in learning, which was caused by the lack of active involvement of students in the learning process and teaching methods that were still dominated by lectures and conventional problem exercises. To overcome this problem, this classroom action research (CAR) was conducted in two cycles involving 28 students as research subjects. The PBL model was chosen because it is oriented towards solving real problems that can stimulate critical thinking and improve concept understanding in more depth, while Wordwall media is used to add interactivity and fun to the learning process. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and learning outcome tests, which were then analyzed using quantitative descriptive techniques. The results showed that the application of PBL model based on Wordwall media can significantly improve students' activities and learning outcomes. In cycle I, students' learning activities showed an increase with a percentage of 78.26% which was classified as a good category, while in cycle II it increased to 91.3% with a very good category. In addition, students' learning outcomes also experienced a significant increase, where the classical completeness which initially only reached 60.87% in cycle I, increased to 86.95% in cycle II. This increase shows that the combination of PBL model and Wordwall media can create a more interesting, interactive, and effective learning atmosphere in improving students' understanding of the concept of fractions. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model based on Wordwall media is effective in improving students' learning outcomes on fraction material in class VI SD Negeri 27 Banda Aceh
