Enhancing Student Learning Outcomes in Science Education Through the PBL Model at SDN 2 Bangunrejo

Abstract

The main problem in this study is the low learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 2 Bangunrejo in the subject of Science. The decline in students' learning outcomes in Science is influenced by the media and teaching models used by the teacher, which are less engaging. students feel bored during lessons, as evidenced by their unsatisfactory grades, laziness in completing assigned tasks, reluctance to ask questions, and desire to leave quickly during lessons. This condition is worsened by the lack of support from family and parents, who tend to focus on their work without considering their child's learning progress. To improve student learning outcomes, the researcher implemented the PBL model. This study was conducted in two cycles with a total of 20 students. Each cycle consisted of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. From the results of cycle I, a classical learning completeness of 55% was obtained with an average score of 6.7. The results of cycle II showed a classical learning completeness of 90% with an average score of 7.5. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the PBL Model can improve the learning outcomes of the 4th-grade students at SDN 2 Bangunrejo.
