PENGARUH METODE PEMBELAJARAN WORD SQUARE TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR PKN SISWA KELAS 5 SD KARTIKA II-5 (PERSIT) BANDAR LAMPUNG TAHUN PELAJARAN 2023/2024

Abstract

The main problems found in this research are 1) many students still do not pay attention to the teacher when explaining, 2) there is no feedback in learning, 3) learning in class lacks variety, 4) Students lack the courage to express opinions and make arguments, 5) learning is predominantly directed towards working on practice questions contained in books and 6) PKN learning outcomes for grade 5 students are still relatively low. So a learning model is needed that can overcome this problem, one of which is using the word square learning method. This research aims to determine the effect of the word square learning method on the PKN learning outcomes of grade 5 students at SD Kartika II-5 (Persit) Bandar Lampung. This type of research is quasi-experimental using quantitative data analysis. The population in this study was all 5th grade students at SD Kartika II-5 (Persit) Bandar Lampung, totaling 91 students, the sample consisted of class 5C as the experimental class, totaling 22 people and 5D as the control class, totaling 22 people. The data analysis technique uses the normality test with the chi square test, the homogeneity test with the Fisher test. Followed by testing the hypothesis with the t-test. Based on the results of the analysis and discussion of the research data, the results of the hypothesis test were obtained with t test results = 3.52 > ttab = 2.02. Furthermore, the average PKN learning outcomes of students taught using the word square learning method were higher (77.73) compared to students taught using conventional learning methods (65.23). So H0 is rejected, meaning Ha is accepted so it can be concluded that there is an influence of the word square learning method on the PKN learning outcomes of grade 5 students at SD Kartika II-5 (Persit) Bandar Lampung.
