Penguatan Partisipasi Belajar Peserta Didik Kelas VIII-A SMP Negeri 17 Malang pada Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila melalui Evaluasi Digital Berbasis Padlet

Abstract

This study aims to increase student involvement in civic education learning by utilizing Padlet digital media as a means of evaluating learning in the classroom. The background of this study began with the lack of student participation in conventional learning evaluations, which tend to be one-way and non-interactive. The study was conducted in class VIII-A of SMP Negeri 17 Malang using the classroom action research method of the Kemmis & McTaggart model in two cycles. Cycle I utilized sticky notes as an evaluation tool, while cycle II used Padlet. The research findings indicated a significant increase in student participation from 61,3% in cycle I to 96,8% in cycle II. Data analysis indicated that Padlet is an effective tool for formative evaluation because it provides opportunities for students to express their ideas visually, interactively, and in a fun atmosphere. In addition, the use of Padlet has been proven to overcome differences in the learning styles of diverse students, especially for those who tend to be less active in verbal communication. This media also allows teachers to provide direct feedback and create productive two-way communication. With a more democratic and transparent learning environment, students feel more appreciated and motivated to contribute. This study suggests the application of Padlet in learning evaluation to create a more interactive, inclusive learning atmosphere that meets the demands of the younger generation in the digital era.
