The application of fairy Tale-Based Learning methods in improving student learning outcomes in Photosynthesis Materials As the most Important Process on Earth for grade IV Students of Mi Muhammadiyah Cekel for the 2023/2024 Academic Year

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of fairy tale-based learning methods in improving the learning outcomes of grade IV students of MI Muhammadiyah Cekel in photosynthesis materials. Photosynthesis is a fundamental process for life on Earth, so a good understanding of this concept is very important for students. The fairy tale method was chosen as an innovative approach to increase students' interest and understanding of the material. This study uses a quantitative approach with a pseudo-experimental design. Data was collected through learning outcome tests before and after the application of the fairy tale method and observation of student learning activities. The results of the study showed that there was a significant increase in student learning outcomes after the application of the fairy tale-based learning method. Students are more enthusiastic, easily understand concepts, and able to remember the material longer compared to conventional methods. Thus, this method is recommended as an effective learning alternative in teaching science concepts to elementary school students
