Abstract

Natural Sciences (IPA) learning in elementary school has an important role in developing students' critical thinking, logic, and understanding of scientific concepts. However, the reality is that science learning is still dominated by conventional methods that are centered on teachers so that students tend to be passive and less actively involved in the learning process. This condition has an impact on the low learning outcomes of students, as found in grade IV B students of SD Negeri 200213 Padangsidimpuan. This research aims to improve students' science learning outcomes through the application of the Make a Match type cooperative learning model to plant body parts. This research is a Class Action Research (PTK) with a qualitative descriptive approach supported by quantitative data. The subjects of the study were 15 students of class IV B consisting of 6 male students and 9 female students. The research was carried out in two cycles, each consisting of the planning stage, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques use learning outcome tests, observation of student activities, and documentation. The data was analyzed qualitatively using the Miles and Huberman models and quantitatively through the calculation of student learning completeness. The results of the study showed that there was a significant increase in students' science learning outcomes. In the pre-cycle stage, learning completeness only reached 20%, increasing to 53.3% in Cycle I, and reaching 86.7% in Cycle II. In addition, student learning activities also increased in terms of activeness, cooperation, and motivation to learn during the learning process. The implications of this study show that the Make a Match type cooperative learning model can be used as an effective learning alternative in improving science learning outcomes in elementary schools. This model not only improves the cognitive aspect, but also develops students' social skills through active, interactive, and fun learning.
