Training in Civics with Slide Media, Pictures and Concrete Objects in Class II Students of Elementary School Despot Alue Bujok in 2024

Abstract

The research findings from the community service project are presented based on the structured analysis of teacher and student activities, alongside the assessment of student learning outcomes across two cycles of action research. In the initial cycle, teacher activity was evaluated using observation sheets completed by designated observers. The results indicated a fair performance, with a score of 18 out of 28, representing 64%. Concurrently, observations of student engagement revealed that only half of the students met the criteria, necessitating further action to address these issues. Following the first cycle, a test was administered to gauge student learning outcomes, revealing that 60% of students achieved mastery learning, with a classical absorption power of 77%. Despite some individual successes, the overall absorption power was 78%, indicating room for improvement. Reflection on the initial cycle highlighted deficiencies in objective articulation and student motivation, prompting adjustments for the subsequent cycle. In the second cycle, significant improvements were observed in teacher activities, with a score of 26 out of 28, corresponding to 93%, categorized as excellent. Visual aids, such as slides and images, played a pivotal role in enhancing student engagement and participation. Observations of student activities showed marked improvement, with all students meeting engagement criteria. The use of visual media, particularly in Civics Education classes, facilitated enhanced student participation and comprehension. Subsequent assessments revealed a notable improvement in student learning outcomes, with all students achieving mastery learning and a classical absorption power of 92%. Reflecting on the second cycle, positive developments were observed in various aspects, including objective articulation, student motivation, group collaboration, and attentiveness during lessons.
