Penerapan CASEL untuk Meningkatkan Keaktifan Murid Berbantuan Media Pita Box

Abstract

This study aims to improve student activity and learning outcomes through the CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning) approach with the help of concrete media PITA Box (Pictogram Bar Diagram Box). This Classroom Action Research (CAR) uses the Kemmis and McTaggart model with two cycles, each covering the planning, implementation observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 27 students of class 5C at SDN Bandungrejosari 1 Malang City in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The study was conducted in two cycles. Data collection techniques used observation, field notes, documentation, and learning outcome tests. Based on the results of observations, several problems were found in Mathematics learning, namely: low student activity, students looked bored due to monotonous media, minimal responses to teacher questions, and many did not understand the data presentation material. In addition, the lack of implementation of a learning model that suits student characteristics worsens the situation. The implementation of Discovery Learning integrated with the five CASEL components and the use of PITA Box media showed a significant increase in activity. Students demonstrated changes such as increased self-awareness, emotional management, empathy, collaboration skills, and responsible decision-making. This approach created a more active learning environment and supported students' socio emotional development.
