PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN IPAS BERBASIS MASALAH DALAM MENINGKATKAN HASIL BELAJAR SISWA KELAS V DI SD KATOLIK MARIANA MEDAN

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of implementing the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on student learning outcomes in the subjects of Integrated Science and Social Studies (IPAS) in grade V at SDS Katolik Mariana Medan. The change in the Merdeka Learning curriculum, which combines Science and Social Studies into IPAS, presents challenges for teachers to create effective and engaging learning experiences for students. This study used a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles. In each cycle, students were presented with real-world problems related to the material they were studying, which they solved through group discussions and applying scientific methods. Instruments used in this study included Lesson Plans (RPP), observation sheets, learning outcome tests, and interviews. The collected data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively to observe changes in student engagement, motivation, and understanding of IPAS material. The results showed that the implementation of the PBL model successfully increased student engagement in learning, improved affective attitudes such as responsibility, and enhanced student learning outcomes, particularly in cognitive and psychomotor aspects. However, challenges remain in motivating less active students and improving their understanding of more complex scientific concepts. Nevertheless, this study demonstrates that the PBL model is effective in creating more active and contextual learning, which can improve the quality of student learning outcomes in IPAS.
