PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN INDEX CARD MATCH TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR IPA PESERTA DIDIK KELAS IV SDN 04 TERANDAM KOTA PADANG

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low science learning outcomes of fourth-grade

students at SDN 04 Terandam, Padang City, which were associated with limited

student activity and the dominance of teacher-centered conventional learning. The

study aimed to determine whether the Index Card Match learning model significantly

influenced the science learning outcomes of fourth-grade students on the topic of

energy sources. This research used a quantitative approach with a quasi

experimental design and a nonequivalent posttest-only group design. The

population consisted of 49 fourth-grade students, with 25 students in class IV A as

the experimental group and 24 students in class IV B as the control group. The

experimental class received learning using the Index Card Match model, while the

control class received conventional learning. Data were collected using a 20-item

multiple-choice test that had undergone validity, reliability, discrimination, and

difficulty analyses. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and inferential analysis

with SPSS version 27. The experimental class obtained a mean posttest score of

66.60, while the control class obtained 71.25. The hypothesis test produced a

significance value of 0.361, greater than 0.05. Thus, H0 was accepted and H1 was

rejected. The results indicate that, under the conditions of this study, the Index Card

Match learning model did not have a significant effect on the science learning

outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 04 Terandam, Padang City
