Peningkatan Aktivitas Belajar Siswa melalui Pendekatan Multisensori

Abstract

Pancasila is often less than optimal due to conventional learning methods. This results in low student engagement in learning and impacts their lack of understanding of the material. Based on this, an innovative approach is needed to improve student learning activities. The implementation of Classroom Action Research (CAR) was carried out to improve student learning activities through a multisensory approach in learning Pancasila Education on cultural diversity. This study used a qualitative description method using quantitative and comparative analysis techniques. This CAR was conducted in three stages, namely pre-cycle, cycle I, and cycle II. The results showed that in the pre-cycle, the average student learning activity was still lacking, obtained a result of 60.5, and only 8 students (29%) achieved mastery. After the implementation of the multisensory approach in cycle I, the average learning activity increased to 74.2 with 19 students (68%) achieving mastery. In cycle II, the average increased even higher to 85.7 with 26 students (93%) achieving mastery. These results demonstrate that a multisensory approach can significantly enhance student learning activities by accommodating diverse learning styles and increasing their engagement in learning. Therefore, a multisensory approach is recommended as an alternative learning strategy, particularly for materials that require in-depth conceptual understanding through direct experience.
