<![CDATA[Student concentration during Grade XI Pancasila Education lessons at SMA Negeri 6 Semarang was not optimal. Preliminary observations revealed that a number of students failed to pay attention to the teacher's explanations, engaged in conversations with peers, or busied themselves with activities unrelated to the lesson, thereby hindering the effective reception of instructional information. This study aimed to improve the learning concentration of Grade XI students through the implementation of interactive PowerPoint media. A classroom action research design was employed, conducted over two cycles; each cycle comprised the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected via observation sheets, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively, with a success criterion set at a minimum of 80% of students achieving a "good" category rating. The results demonstrated consistent improvement across stages: the initial condition showed an average score of 56.46 with a class mastery rate of 5.56%; this rose to an average of 61.91 with 61.11% mastery in the first cycle and reached an average of 72.57 with 100% mastery in the second cycle. Thus, the use of interactive PowerPoint media proved effective in enhancing student concentration during Pancasila Education lessons; it is therefore recommended as an alternative instructional medium that could be further developed for other subjects to foster active student engagement during the learning proces.]]>
