Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of using the traditional congklak game to improve students' arithmetic skills, particularly multiplication, while incorporating positive reinforcement as a motivational tool. Many elementary school students struggle with understanding abstract mathematical concepts, especially multiplication and division. To address this issue, a series of interventions using the congklak game were conducted. The methodology involved four sessions with a fourth-grade student from MI Al-Hidayah Banjarsari. A pre-test assessed the student"™s initial multiplication ability, followed by interventions using congklak, and concluding with a post-test to measure improvement. Throughout the sessions, positive reinforcement"”such as praise and rewards"”was given to maintain the student"™s motivation and focus. The results showed significant progress in the student's ability to perform multiplication, as evidenced by a quicker of problems in the post-test compared to the pre-test. The use of positive reinforcement was effective in maintaining the student"™s motivation during the learning process. In conclusion, the congklak game, combined with positive reinforcement, proved to be an engaging and interactive method for enhancing multiplication skills and could serve as a creative teaching strategy in mathematics education.
