Abstract

Science learning at Sekolah Menengah Pertama (SMP) Madani Depok reveals that class VIII students struggle to comprehend abstract subject matter. Learning systems that focus on teachers tend to place more emphasis on the material that must be taught; this will influence learning outcomes and students' interest in learning. Since students cannot see the process and can only imagine it, they are less interested in learning. This research aims to enhance the learning outcomes of class VIII students at SMP Madani Depok in the areas of Elements, Compounds, and Mixtures, utilizing video learning media and descriptive analysis methods derived from classroom action research. In this research, two cycles were used. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The target of this research is class VIII of SMP Madani Depok. From the results of the analysis, it was found that student learning outcomes had increased from pre-cycle, cycle I, and cycle II. Data obtained from Pre-cycle activities had an average score of 41.76. In cycle I, students had an average score of 70 and had a learning completion percentage of 63.7%. The final test carried out in cycle II had scores above the Minimum Mastery Criteria for 15 students, with a percentage of 88.2%. This research concludes that applying video media can improve students' science learning outcomes, particularly in elements, compounds, and mixtures. Furthermore, this video media application can serve as an alternative for science learning. The effectiveness of applying this video media can make it easier for participants, students, to understand the lesson material.
