The Implementation of the Scientific Method in Improving Learning Outcomes on the Human Digestive System Material for 5th Grade Students at MIN 11 Pesisir Selatan
Keywords:
Scientific Method, Learning Outcomes, Human Digestive System, 5th-Grade Students, Classroom Action Research.Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of applying the scientific method in improving learning outcomes on the human digestive system material for 5th-grade students at MIN 11 Pesisir Selatan, consisting of 15 students. The implemented scientific method includes five main steps: observation, questioning, experimenting, reasoning, and communicating. This research employs a quantitative approach with a classroom action research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observations of student activities, and interviews with teachers and students. The results of the study indicate that the application of the scientific method has a positive impact on students' conceptual understanding. This is evident from the increase in students' average learning outcome scores in each cycle. Additionally, this method fosters students' active participation in the learning process and enhances their motivation to understand the human digestive system material. Students became more enthusiastic about engaging in discussions, conducting experiments, and presenting their analysis results. Thus, the scientific method can be an effective alternative for improving the quality of learning and students' comprehension of science concepts.Downloads
