Abstract

The background of this research is based on the initial observations that the researcher conducted at SD Negeri 1 Jarai, the researcher observed the ongoing learning process in the classroom during the Mathematics subject, found the fact that there were difficulties in explaining the theory for teachers who were giving lessons because students were not focused, busy playing, disturbing friends, chatting and daydreaming during the learning hours which ultimately would impact the level of student concentration. Therefore, teachers need to pay special attention to this aspect by using the Brain Gym method so that students can more easily understand the material and achieve optimal learning outcomes. The purpose of the study was to determine whether there was an influence between the Brain Gym Method (Brain Gym) on student learning concentration in the Mathematics subject of grade V of SD Negeri 1 Jarai. The type of research used in this study is Descriptive Quantitative. By using Descriptive Methods. Data collection techniques used in this study were observation, interviews, questionnaires and documentation. The population in this study amounted to 476 students at SD Negeri 1 Jarai. While the sample of the study used Purposive Sampling which was selected randomly so that a sample of 27 students came out who were class V.A. The data collection technique in this study used validity test, reliability test, normality test, linearity test, hypothesis test and simple linear regression test. The results of the study showed that in the calculation of the hypothesis test based on the calculated t-value with the t-table, it was known that the calculated t-value was -1.657> t-table of 1.7081 (t-table 5% n = 27), so that researchers can conclude that there is an influence of the brain gym method on student learning concentration in mathematics subjects in class V of SD Negeri 1 Jarai.
