Application Of The Talking Stick Learning Model To Improve Mathematics Learning Outcomes

Abstract

Mathematics subjects have their own characteristics, where the material cannot be mastered without understanding and appreciation. To be able to understand the material delivered by the teacher, students must have an interest in each lesson. So far, students have been indifferent to the learning delivered by the teacher, because learning takes place conventionally. To overcome this problem, the researcher provides a solution in the form of providing action on the learning process in the form of classroom action research by applying the Talking Stick learning model. This research consists of two cycles where each cycle starts from planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The Talking Stick learning model is a learning model that prioritizes the existence of groups and also games that rely on sticks as a learning medium. The purpose of this study is to describe the improvement of student learning outcomes by applying the Talking Stick Learning Model and describe the application of the Talking Stick learning model in the learning process. This research was carried out from August to September 2021 in Class V-A SDN 071014 Dima with a total of 25 students, 10 boys and 15 girls. The results of this study are that student learning outcomes in mathematics lessons increased with the application of the Talking Stick learning model, at the end of the cycle the average student learning outcome was 83.76 with a percentage of completeness of 92% and the average reflection result of the implementation of the learning process at the end of the cycle reached 86.21%. Thus, it can be concluded that the learning outcomes of students in mathematics subjects in Class V-A SDN 071014 Dima are improved by the application of the Talking Stick learning model and the mathematics learning process in Class V-A SDN 071014 Dima is improved by the application of the Talking Stick learning model.
