Abstract

The low learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN 2 Rambang in Science learning. Therefore, innovation through game-based learning is needed. This research aims to improve the learning outcomes of third-grade students at SDN 2 Rambang on the topic of the life cycle of living things in Science learning using the game-based learning method. The subjects of this research were 19 third-grade students at SDN 2 Rambang. The method used in this research was Classroom Action Research which was carried out in 2 cycles. The instruments used included observation sheets, learning outcome tests, and documentation. The results of the research showed that the application of the game-based learning method could improve student learning outcomes. In the pre-cycle, only 6 out of 19 students (31.6%) achieved scores above the Minimum Completeness Criteria. In the first cycle, this increased to 12 students (63.2%), and in the second cycle, it further increased to 19 students 100%). In addition to the increase in learning outcome scores, students also showed increased motivation, activeness, and understanding of the material. Thus, it can be concluded that the game-based learning method is effective in improving student learning outcomes in Science learning, especially on the topic of the life cycle of living things.

Abstract

This study examined the effect of using learning media in teaching the properties of light on junior high school students’ learning outcomes and critical thinking skills in science. A quantitative approach was employed using a one-group pre-test–post-test design. The sample was selected randomly, and data were collected through a critical thinking test administered before and after the treatment. The findings revealed that the use of learning media had a positive and significant impact on students’ performance. Students’ mean score increased from 54.81 on the pre-test to 82.90 on the post-test, indicating substantial improvement in learning outcomes. In addition, students’ critical thinking skills showed marked development, improving from a low category to an excellent level after the implementation of the learning media. Statistical analysis using the t-test further confirmed that the treatment significantly enhanced students’ critical thinking abilities. These results suggest that integrating learning media into science instruction, particularly in the topic of the properties of light, effectively supports students’ understanding and promotes higher-order thinking. Overall, the study concludes that the use of learning media not only improves academic achievement but also fosters critical thinking skills, which are essential for students’ success in science learning.
