Increasing Students' Low Interest in Learning Science Content in Class IV of Sekokat State Elementary School Through the Problem Based Learning Model

Abstract

Based on the learning results of class IV students at SD NEGERI SEKOKAT in the Mid-Semester 1 Assessment for the 2022-2023 academic year, there were 8 out of 21 students or 21.7% who had not reached the KKM in science content. This shows that student learning outcomes are still low due to a lack of interest in learning. This research aims to determine the increase in student interest and learning outcomes through the application of the Problem Based Learning model to science content in class IV of SDN Sekokat for the 2022-2023 academic year. This learning improvement research was carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation and reflection activities. In cycle 1 the number of students who reached the KKM was 78.26% or 13 out of 21 students. In cycle 2 the number of students who reached the KKM was 91.30% or 18 out of 21 students. This means that there was an increase in learning outcomes from cycle 1 to cycle 2 by 13.1%. Based on the significant achievement of student learning outcomes in the learning improvement activities carried out, it can be concluded that through the application of the Problem Based Learning model it can increase student interest and learning outcomes in science content in class IV SDN Sekokat.
