PENINGKATAN HASIL BELAJAR IPAS MATERI ORGAN DAN SISTEM PERNAPASAN MANUSIA MELALUI MODEL MAKE A MATCH PADA MURID KELAS VI SDN DUKUH KUPANG II SURABAYA

Abstract

This classroom action research examines the improvement of Grade VI students’ learning outcomes in IPAS on the human respiratory organs and system through the Make a Match learning model. The study was conducted at SD Negeri Dukuh Kupang II and planned in a preliminary assessment followed by Cycle I and Cycle II. Cycle I used cards containing organ images, names, and functions, while Cycle II was designed as a follow-up action using a respiratory-system puzzle and a challenge worksheet to strengthen students’ understanding of organ relationships and airflow sequence. Data were collected through written tests and classroom observations and analyzed descriptively. The available score sheets contain incomplete records for the preliminary assessment and Cycle I; therefore, missing scores were not imputed as actual results. A paired descriptive analysis was performed on 28 students whose scores were available at all three stages. Their mean scores were 79.52 in the preliminary assessment, 89.29 in Cycle I, and 85.00 in Cycle II. If the school’s mastery threshold is confirmed as 75, the number meeting the threshold in this paired group was 16, 19, and 16 students, respectively. The available data show an increase from the preliminary assessment to Cycle I, while the Cycle II mean is lower than Cycle I. Consequently, conclusions about sustained improvement require verification of missing scores and confirmation of the mastery threshold.
