A. Type
Research.
Research
This is the kind of classroom action research. Actions taken by implement a
variety of media images in improving students' ability to think to digest the
lessons of Social Sciences, so as to optimize learning outcomes. The purpose of
this study is one class act an effort to improve classroom learning process in
an effort to improve and change its strategy towards better learning. The
change process This study will contribute to student learning outcomes.
Model
spiral and Mc.Taggart Kemmis (1988:10) used as a benchmark in the running This
action research carried out by four steps are as the following:
1. Develop plan of action to be taken
to improve the situation.
2. Do action to explain the plan.
3. Observe the impact of the situation
presented in the context of events.
4. Reflect impact as a basis for
planning and so on, and to form a cycle.
Cycle
found on the strategy and Mc.Taggart Kemmis (1988:11) can be described as
follows:
1. Background
Place of study.
Research
was carried out in class V MIN Talawi Sawahlunto by the number of students as
many as 24 people, consisting of 15 women and 9 men. Research performed in line
with ongoing learning, with a view solve problems that have been the
constraints and consideration for the author as a teacher in class V MIN
Talawi.
Implementation
research is the researcher himself as a teacher with a subject of study is V
MIN Talawi graders. The reason this study chose the location because of the
sense of responsibility for the success of education in general, as well as
success students master the learning material in particular.
2. Time
Research.
Research
was implemented in semester II (two) on the subjects of Social Knowledge
students from class V MIN Talawi with the teaching materials: Valuing the
contribution and role figures in the independence proclaimed conducted based on
the article Implementation of research-based Learning Class Action.
C. Producer
/ Cycle Research
Research
This is done through the cycle, with each cycle consisting of a competency
basis. Each cycle performed with action plans which will be given a emphasizes
the use of media images in any basic competency. On time the offense is
committed colleague (collaborator) observe
and record events in a positive classroom and negative. Based on the
observations collaborator, problems
encountered are discussed to determine the improvement measures on The next
activity until the obtained results are considered good, according with the
expected goals. Research steps are as the following:
Cycle I
a.
Plan
Before the activity performed in the
first class in the form of structured plan of activities analyze and design a
learning plan based on the exercise of Action Research Class describes the
content, objectives to be achieved, the material will be taught and prepare
media images, and prepare the material within their duties to be given to
children. And also prepared in the form of the observation instrument to be
used.
b. Implementation Action
The teacher explains the material
through the use of media images. One by one the image was displayed dipapan
stationery, children replied the teacher asked about the matter. Frequently
asked questions children completed work on assigned tasks, teachers around the
monitor and provide assistance for children in difficulty.
c.
Observation
During the learning process
kobolator help teach your friends to observe the implementation of the action,
both teachers and activities of their children. Besides, the teachers also
observed learning time activities of children and do the job and record the
events significant positive or negative. All activities that occur are recorded
by kabolator friends, either by filling in the observation or make notes the
other events that need to be discussed.
d. Reflex.
At the end of the cycle I reflection
of the activities conducted and results obtained by observations collaborator,
notes made of teachers and the tasks done by children. The results of these
reflections are used as the basis for plan action in the next cycle.
Cycle
II
a.
Planning.
Based on
reflection on the results, I prepared another cycle of lesson plans for the
material next. The plan is based on weaknesses encountered in the I cycle for
learning in a structured program to overcome bias problems in the
teaching-learning process. The plan could completion of first cycle programs,
or develop new programs totally different from cycle I.
b. Implementation of the action.
Plan that
has been arranged on the second cycle was carried out on the learning process
according to the plan that had been developed.
c.
Observation.
Activity
learning in the second cycle was observed by the teacher and noted collaborator
important things. Teachers who teach well also makes the important note found
during this activity cycle II.
d. Reflex.
Result
opservasi observations made and used as dalammelakukan reflection cycle II. If
the results of observations and records that are appropriate dperoleh with the
desired learning activities do not need to continue to cycle III. But if it is
still not satisfactory compiled again perencanaanuntuk cycle III and next to
study the results obtained in accordance with the standards completeness at
least an average final exam scores range in the 6.5.
D. Data
Collecting Methods and Tools
The method used in data collection in this
study (instrument) are: 1) obsesi.2) distributing the questionnaire, 3) giving
the test, 4) The tasks that the students, and 5) Journal of teachers.
While
data collection tool are: 1) Format of observation, 2) learning motivation
questionnaire, 3) Test results to learn, 4) analysis of documents, and 5) Notes
field.
a.
Format observation to check the
activities of which is based on indicators that found previously. Aspects of
observed through the observation is related to motivation to learn premises,
activities in teaching and learning in order to see the implementation
kesesuian action plan has been prepared.
b. Questionnaire motivation to learn;
intended for students in order to elicit a response on the implementation of
learning. To see scores of motivation filled with students is weighted in each
option in the range: best = 5, good = 4, moderate = 3, less = 2, less so = 1.
c.
Test results to learn; used test
objective and fitted with an oral test in the form of direct questions.
d. Document analysis; berupatugas-task
given to students each cycle runs.
and.
Notes about the events that occurred
for a given action, whether positive or negative.
E.
Data Analysis and Reflection
Made in the analysis stage data are:
1) data reduction, ie the abstraction process raw data into meaningful
information, 2) exposure data; the process performance data simpler in form
neratif exposure, representative free, 3) inference: that is the essence of the
dish-making process the data in the form sentences that contain a broad sense.
Based on the data acquired, processed and analyzed with descriptive techniques,
which saw an average score of the student evaluation results obtained from the
subjects of Social Sciences, and can also be seen from the results of daily
tests on each end of the lesson. Data were analyzed quantitatively and
qualitatively. Quantitatively children's learning outcome data were analyzed to
see any activity its development. Similarly, data obtained from observation of
activities teaching and learning is conducted, analyzed and used as an
ingredient consideration in determining the next action. Also all the data used
to infer from the actions of its influence on child's learning process. The
analysis of this data will be included in the research reports.
