Efforts to Improve Learning Outcomes through The Cooperative Learning Model Type Student Active Learning (SAL)

Abstrak

This study aims to improve science learning outcomes on heat and its transfer using the Student Active Learning (SAL) Cooperative model for class V students in the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The research follows the Classroom Action Research method based on the Kemmis and Taggart model, conducted over two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The study, conducted over three months (April–June 2024) with 27 students, collected data through tests, interviews, and observations. Results show an improvement in students' science learning outcomes, with test averages rising from 58.88 (pre-action) to 71.48 (cycle 1) and 86.66 (cycle 2). Interviews also revealed that students enjoyed learning science through the SAL model. In conclusion, the SAL Cooperative model effectively enhances science learning outcomes on heat and its transfer.
