Abstract

Difficulty in grasping mathematical concepts among primary school students reduces their problem-solving ability and learning motivation. This study addresses conceptual understanding in Grade V students at MIN 2 Kota Pariaman. The study aimed to improve students' conceptual understanding of mathematics through the implementation of a contextual teaching and learning (CTL) approach. This Classroom Action Research (CAR) employed a two-cycle design involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. Participants were 18 Grade V students. Instruments included pre-test and post-tests, observation checklists, and interview guides. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively (means, percentages), and qualitative data were analyzed thematically. The average pre-test score was 64.72; after Cycle I, the mean rose to 75.55; after Cycle II, the mean reached 85.28. The percentage of students who met the Kriteria Ketercapaian Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP) established for the targeted increased markedly across cycles. Observations and interviews revealed increased student engagement, collaborative problem solving, and better ability to relate mathematical concepts to real-life contexts.

Abstract

Many primary school students struggle with conceptual understanding in mathematics, particularly in areas such as fractions, decimals, and measurement, which impedes problem-solving and transfer. This Classroom Action Research (PTK) investigates whether a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model reinforced with manipulatives and a small project task can improve the conceptual understanding of Grade V students at MIN 2 Kota Pariaman. The research employed two cycles of action: planning, action, observation, and reflection. Participants were 18 Grade V students. Instruments included an 18-item concept test (pre-test and post-tests), observation checklists, project rubrics, work samples, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively (means, percent meeting KKTP) and, where appropriate, paired comparisons; qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Mean scores improved from 61.40 (pre-test) to 74.10 (post-test I) and 86.00 (post-test II). The percentage of students meeting the established Kriteria Ketercapaian Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP) rose from 39% to 67% and then to 94%. Qualitative data indicated enhanced modelling, argumentation, collaboration, and motivation.
