<![CDATA[This study aimed to determine the improvement of elementary school students’ understanding of democratic concepts through the implementation of teaching modules based on the role playing method in Pancasila Education learning for fifth-grade students at SDN Banyuajuh 04. The background of this study was based on students’ low participation in discussions, lack of confidence in expressing opinions, and learning activities that were still dominated by the lecture method, causing students to understand democratic concepts theoretically rather than through real practice. This study used Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kurt Lewin model, which consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages conducted in two cycles. The research subjects were 8 fifth-grade students of SDN Banyuajuh 04, Bangkalan Regency. Data collection techniques used observation sheets and evaluation tests. Observation sheets were used to measure students’ democratic attitudes, including respecting opinions, openness, freedom of expression, cooperation, active participation, and responsibility, while evaluation tests were used to determine students’ learning outcomes. The results showed that the percentage of students’ democratic attitudes increased from 72.5% in Cycle I to 93.75% in Cycle II. In addition, students’ classical learning completeness improved from 62.5% in Cycle I to 87.5% in Cycle II. The implementation of the role playing method proved to be effective in improving students’ democratic attitudes and learning outcomes because students were actively involved in role-playing activities, discussions, and collective decision-making so that democratic values could be understood through direct learning experiences. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peningkatan pemahaman konsep demokrasi siswa sekolah dasar melalui penerapan modul ajar berbasis metode role playing pada pembelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila di kelas V SDN Banyuajuh 04. Latar belakang penelitian didasarkan pada rendahnya partisipasi siswa dalam diskusi, kurangnya rasa percaya diri saat menyampaikan pendapat, serta pembelajaran yang masih didominasi metode ceramah sehingga siswa lebih memahami konsep demokrasi secara teoritis daripada praktik nyata. Penelitian ini menggunakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) model Kurt Lewin yang terdiri atas tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 8 siswa kelas V SDN Banyuajuh 04 Kabupaten Bangkalan. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan lembar observasi dan tes evaluasi. Lembar observasi digunakan untuk mengukur sikap demokrasi siswa yang meliputi aspek menghargai pendapat, keterbukaan, kebebasan berpendapat, kerja sama, partisipasi aktif, dan tanggung jawab, sedangkan tes evaluasi digunakan untuk mengetahui hasil belajar siswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa persentase sikap demokrasi siswa meningkat dari 72,5% pada siklus I menjadi 93,75% pada siklus II. Selain itu, ketuntasan hasil belajar siswa juga meningkat dari 62,5% pada siklus I menjadi 87,5% pada siklus II. Penerapan metode role playing terbukti mampu meningkatkan sikap demokrasi dan hasil belajar siswa karena siswa terlibat secara aktif dalam kegiatan pemeranan, diskusi, dan pengambilan keputusan bersama sehingga nilai-nilai demokrasi dapat dipahami melalui pengalaman belajar langsung.]]>
