Implementation of Index Card Match to Improve Interest and Achievement among Primary School Student in Mathematics

Abstract

This classroom action research aims to increase the interest and learning achievement of participants in grade 3 primary school classby applying a learning model Index Card Match (ICM). The subjects of this study were class IIIC students at SDN Bantul which consisted of 20 students. The research object is an interest in learning Mathematics using a learning modelIndex Card Match (ICM). Based on the results of the actions in cycle 1, an average score of 66.5 was obtained with a completeness percentage of 60%. The research results in cycle 1 showed that the results were not optimal. Based on the results of the actions in cycle 2, an average score of 82.5 was obtained with a completeness percentage of 80%. Thus the results of the study in cycle 2 showed an increase from cycle 1. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the application of the learning model Index Card Match (ICM) can increase the interest and learning achievement of students in grade 3 primary school classwith an increase from cycle 1 to cycle 2 by 20%. Based on the results of the student learning interest questionnaire that was carried out, it was obtained before being given exposure to the material, an average score of 6.77 was obtained, which still had not reached the KKM, showing results that were not optimal. Based on the presentation of the material, an average score of 7.99 was obtained which was included in the KKM, showing maximum results. So it can be concluded that the learning interest of class IIIC SDN students in the Bantul area increased by 40%.
