Peningkatan Motivasi dan Hasil Belajar IPAS Menggunakan Model Contextual Teaching and Learning Berbantuan Canva

Abstract

This study addresses the low motivation and learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 04/II Jaya Setia in the IPAS (Natural and Social Sciences) subject. At the start of the study, only 7 out of 19 students met the established achievement standards. The research aimed to improve the learning process, student motivation, and learning outcomes by employing the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model supported by Canva. This classroom action research followed the Kemmis and McTaggart model, comprising two cycles; each cycle included planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observations of teacher and student activities, motivation questionnaires, learning outcome tests, and documentation, and were subsequently analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative methods. The results showed improvements in teacher activity (from 73.53% to 88.24%), student activity (from 63.16% to 84.21%), learning motivation (from 73.68% to 89.47%), and learning mastery (from 57.89% to 84.21%). These improvements occurred because the subject matter was linked to real-life experiences, students engaged in inquiry and group work, and Canva presented materials, videos, and quizzes in an engaging manner. The implementation of Canva-assisted CTL proved effective in enhancing the quality of the learning process and outcomes in IPAS.
