Improving Learning Outcomes of Science About the Solar System Using the Role-Playing Method

Science learning activities of 6th grade students of SDN Karangreja are still many who obtain learning outcomes below the KKM. Therefore, an effort is needed to improve the learning outcomes of science, one of which is through the use of the role-playing method. This study aims to determine the improvement of learning outcomes of grade VI students of SDN Karangreja through role-playing activities in the science subject of Solar System material. The research subjects were grade VI students of SD Negeri Karangreja with a total of 13 children, a class teacher and an observer. Research data collected in the form of student learning outcomes, teacher observation results, and student observation results. This research used Classroom Action Research,which was carried out into two cycles. Each cycle has 4 stages, namely planning, action implementation, observation and reflection. In this study, it is said to be successful if at least 85% of students get a score ≥ 70: (1) Student learning completeness in cycle I was 69.23% with an average score of 60.00 and in cycle II was 92.31% with an average score of 83.07 (2) Student activity scores in cycle I were 70% and in cycle II were 92%. From the data exposure above, it can be seen that in cycle I the learning outcomes were not as expected, which means that the research success indicators have not been achieved, while in cycle II the learning outcomes were as expected, which means that the research success indicators have been achieved.
