Peningkatan Hasil Belajar IPAS melalui Pendekatan TaRL Siswa Kelas IV SDN Gadang 1

Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of science subjects in class IV C through the implementation of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach. The method used is Classroom Action Research (PTK), which combines quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study was conducted at SDN Gadang 1 Malang City with 25 students of class IV-C as subjects. The research activities took place in three stages, namely pre-cycle, cycle I, and cycle II. In the pre-cycle stage, students were given a cognitive diagnostic assessment to identify their initial understanding, the results of which showed a level of completion of 44%. In cycle I, learning was carried out using the TaRL approach and the discovery learning model, which resulted in an increase in completion to 64%. Furthermore, in cycle II, learning was complemented with a snowball throwing game, which encouraged an increase in student completion to reach 92%. The findings of this Classroom Action Research indicate that the application of the TaRL approach is effectively able to improve student learning outcomes in science subjects.
