IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SNOWBALL THROWING METHOD IN IMPROVING LEARNING OUTCOMES IN CIVIC EDUCATION

Abstract

Preparing a high-quality generation requires a learning process that is effective, easy to understand, and comprehensible to students. This ensures they have the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to equip themselves for life, both personally and as citizens, because high-quality human resources support the quality of a country. One way to achieve this is by implementing the snowball throwing method in the learning process. This study aims to examine how the implementation of the snowball throwing method improves student learning outcomes in Pancasila education. The method used is a classroom action research method conducted in three cycles with twenty-two seventh-grade students at SMPIT Ibnu Rusyd as the research subjects. The research data was obtained through observation, interviews, tests, field notes, discussions, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the snowball throwing method can improve student learning outcomes, as evidenced by the increase in the average learning outcomes of students in each cycle. Educators can use the snowball throwing method as one of the efforts to improve student learning outcomes.
