Abstract

Students in the classroom have different levels of ability, so teachers need to use appropriate learning approaches to help close knowledge gaps and improve thinking skills. Creative teaching that meets students' needs is essential. This study is a classroom action research that aims to improve student learning outcomes using the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach combined with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model.The research was carried out at SD Negeri 064974 Medan during the even semester of the 2024/2025 school year with 21 students. It was conducted in three cycles. Data were collected through direct observation (peer assessment) by the observer and self-assessment by students during the learning process. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics.The success indicator was an improvement in average student learning outcomes in each cycle. Before the cycles began (pre-cycle), only 5% of students reached the minimum score. In Cycle 1, 14% of students (3 out of 21) achieved the complete score. In Cycle 2, the percentage rose to 48% (10 students). Finally, in Cycle 3, it increased to 71%, with 15 out of 21 students achieving the complete score.These results show that applying the TaRL approach together with the PBL model can significantly improve student learning outcomes, especially in learning about the human digestive system. The method helps address students’ individual needs and supports better engagement and understanding.
