Improving Learning Outcomes on Faith in the Prophets Through Role-Playing Method Among Grade IV Students

Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of fourth grade students of SDN KM 5 Teladan Baru on the material “Believing in the Prophets” through the role-playing method. The research was conducted in two cycles, each of which included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. In the first cycle, the learning atmosphere was fun and interactive, but some students still had difficulty understanding the values of the teachings and the background of the prophets' lives. Participation in role-playing was also not optimal, which had an impact on the smooth running of the activity. Nevertheless, there was an improvement in learning outcomes, with a number of students moving up from the “Satisfactory” to “Good” category. The second cycle was conducted with improvements, such as giving special attention to students who were struggling and deepening the material. As a result, the average score increased and learning completeness reached 90%. Student participation also increased, as seen from their activeness in role-playing and discussion. Better classroom management and group formation also supported the effectiveness of learning. Overall, the role-playing method proved effective in improving students' understanding and engagement, as well as creating an active and fun learning environment. Evaluation and improvement in the second cycle resulted in a positive impact on learning practices at SDN KM 5 Teladan Baru.
