Penerapan Metode STAD untuk Meningkatkan Motivasi Belajar Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Budi Pekerti Kelas VI di SDN Dadaha Kota Tasikmalaya

Abstract

This study aims to enhance students' learning motivation through the implementation of the cooperative learning model of the Student Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD) type in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education subjects in class VI A at SDN Dadaha, Tawang District, Tasikmalaya City. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method, which is carried out in two cycles, where each cycle includes the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection was carried out using observation instruments, a learning motivation questionnaire, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the STAD-type cooperative learning model can significantly increase students' learning motivation. In the first cycle, students' learning motivation increased by 70%, and in the second cycle, it rose to 90%. In addition, students demonstrated active involvement during the learning process as well as better collaboration skills within groups. This study concludes that the implementation of the STAD-type cooperative learning model is effective in increasing students' learning motivation, particularly on Islamic Religious Education and Character Education materials. This model can also be used as an alternative method of innovative and enjoyable learning in the classroom.
