This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the lecture method in improving student learning outcomes. The lecture method is often considered less interactive, but if combined with the right strategy, this method can help students understand the material better. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is carried out in two cycles, with the research subjects being grade VIII students at a Madrasah Tsanawiyah. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observations, and interviews with students and teachers. The results of the study showed that the implementation of the lecture method combined with visual media, questions and answers, and short discussions was able to significantly improve student understanding. The average student score increased from 65 in the first cycle to 80 in the second cycle. In addition, student involvement in learning also increased. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the lecture method remains effective in learning if it is packaged in an interesting and interactive way. It is recommended that teachers utilize more varied learning media and strategies so that students remain active and motivated in learning.
