Learning should be tailored to the characteristics of students and create a pleasant
learning atmosphere in order to enhance students' interest and learning outcomes.
This classroom action research aims to improve learning in the fifth grade and test
the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on students' learning
outcomes. The study involved 27 students from the fifth grade of SDN Kepatihan 1,
Tulungagung Regency, as research subjects. The instruments used were
observation and tests. The collected data were analyzed using the classical
achievement formula and class average scores. The research results showed that
the implementation of the PBL model in the first cycle demonstrated student
engagement of 77.7% during the implementation, while in the second cycle, it
increased to 91.6%. The students' learning outcomes in the subject of Social
Sciences, particularly the topic of events surrounding the proclamation of
Indonesian independence, in the first cycle showed a classical achievement of
44.5% with an average score of 69.6, whereas in the second cycle, it increased to
85% with an average score of 84.5. Therefore, it can be concluded that the PBL
model is capable of improving students' learning outcomes in the subject of Social
Sciences, specifically the topic of events surrounding the proclamation of
Indonesian independence, in the fifth grade. In this study, educators are expected
to optimize the use of the PBL learning model by developing appropriate teaching
materials and assessments based on students' characteristics.
