Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Problem Based Learning untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Siswa pada Materi Zakat di Kelas V di SDN 4 Sindangpalay

Abstract

This research is motivated by problems in grade V at SDN 4 Sindangpalay, Tasikmalaya City, where students are unable to understand the material on zakat correctly. This low learning achievement is caused by a lack of knowledge and limited interest in learning among students in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subject, particularly on the topic of zakat. The main objective of this study is to improve students' learning outcomes in the cognitive aspect through the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted on 25 fifth-grade students at SDN 4 Sindangpalay, Tasikmalaya City. Data were obtained from observations of student activities and learning outcome tests, which were analyzed using the mastery percentage technique. The research design was carried out in three cycles. The results of the study showed consistent and significant improvement. In the Pre-Cycle stage, students' comprehension ability was still in the low category. After the action was implemented, there was an improvement in Cycle I, with an average learning outcome of 73.50, where 64% of students had reached the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 70. Improvements in actions in the next cycle successfully increased learning outcomes in Cycle II, with the class average rising to 81.60 and the completeness percentage reaching 80%. Optimal improvement occurred in Cycle III, where the class average soared to 90.80 and all students, 100%, successfully achieved the KKM of 70. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model is very effective in enhancing students' cognitive learning outcomes on zakat material.
