Peningkatan Kualitas Belajar Peserta Didik Kelas X IPS 1 dengan Teknik Pomodoro

Abstract

This research aims to determine the improvement of learning quality among 10th-grade
students in Social Sciences 1 class at Senior High School 2 Malang through the Pomodoro technique. The
Pomodoro technique is used to divide study and rest durations effectively. This technique is employed
because students often experience a decline in visual concentration during studying, primarily due to
the excessive use of electronic devices and prolonged scrolling through social media. The instructional
design of this study utilizes the Pomodoro technique to assist students in dividing their study and rest
time and maintaining eye health. This study adopts a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach,
consisting of two cycles. Each cycle comprises four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and
reflection. Data collection methods used in this Classroom Action Research include written tests,
observations, and documentation. The instruments used consist of a descriptive test to assess students'
problem-solving abilities and a questionnaire on students' concentration during learning. Data analysis
involves triangulation of sources, data, and time. The results obtained indicate that the Pomodoro
technique has a positive influence on the learning quality of the students. There was an improvement in
both the learning process and learning outcomes from Cycle 1 to Cycle II. As the success indicators,
whether at the individual or collective level, were achieved, the research cycles were terminated.
