<![CDATA[Students’ learning outcomes in Pancasila Education at the elementary school level are still not optimal because learning tends to be teacher-centered and does not actively involve students in understanding the learning material. This condition causes students to tend to memorize the material without understanding and connecting it with everyday life. Therefore, learning is needed to improve learning outcomes through an active, meaningful, and enjoyable learning process. This study aimed to determine the effect of a deep learning approach based on interactive crossword puzzle media on the learning outcomes of Pancasila Education among fifth-grade elementary school students. This study employed a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving all 29 fifth-grade students at SDN Karang Tanjung Candi Sidoarjo as a saturated sample. Data were collected through a multiple-choice learning outcome test administered before (pretest) and after (posttest) the implementation of the deep learning approach assisted by interactive crossword puzzle media, then analyzed using validity, reliability, normality, and hypothesis tests. The results showed an increase in students' average scores from 61 on the pretest to 71 on the posttest. The hypothesis test results confirmed a significant difference in learning outcomes before and after treatment, so the research hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that the deep learning approach based on interactive crossword puzzle media is effective in improving learning outcomes as well as students' engagement, motivation, and critical thinking skills in fifth-grade Pancasila Education learning. ABSTRAK Hasil belajar Pendidikan Pancasila siswa sekolah dasar masih belum optimal karena pembelajaran cenderung berpusat pada guru dan kurang melibatkan siswa secara aktif dalam memahami materi. Kondisi tersebut menyebabkan siswa cenderung menghafal materi tanpa memahami dan menghubungkannya dengan kehidupan sehari-hari. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pembelajaran yang dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar melalui proses yang aktif, bermakna, dan menyenangkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pendekatan pembelajaran mendalam berbasis media teka-teki silang interaktif terhadap hasil belajar Pendidikan Pancasila siswa kelas V SD. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode pre-eksperimen desain one-group pretest-posttest, melibatkan seluruh siswa kelas V SDN Karang Tanjung Candi Sidoarjo yang berjumlah 29 siswa sebagai sampel jenuh. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes hasil belajar berbentuk soal pilihan ganda yang diberikan sebelum (pretest) dan sesudah (posttest) penerapan pendekatan pembelajaran mendalam berbantuan media teka-teki silang interaktif, kemudian dianalisis melalui uji validitas, reliabilitas, normalitas, dan uji hipotesis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan peningkatan nilai rata-rata siswa dari 61 pada pretest menjadi 71 pada posttest. Hasil uji hipotesis membuktikan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil belajar siswa sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan, sehingga hipotesis penelitian dinyatakan diterima. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pendekatan pembelajaran mendalam berbasis media teka-teki silang interaktif efektif meningkatkan hasil belajar sekaligus keterlibatan, motivasi, dan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa kelas V SD dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila.]]>
