Increasing the Motivation of Science Learning in Class IV Students using the Problem Based Learning Model

Abstract

Improving Science Learning Motivation for Grade IV Students Using Based Learning Learning Models. This study aims to increase the learning motivation of fourth grade elementary school students in science subjects through problem-based learning models. This type of research is Collaborative Classroom Action Research (PKK). The hypothesis in

this study is that the application of the problem-based learning model can increase learning motivation and understanding in the science subject of fourth grade elementary school students. The subjects of this study were 28 students of class IV SD . This research was conducted in 2 cycles. Each cycle consists of 2 meetings. The method used in data collection is observation/observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study show that there is a significant influence on the learning motivation of students who use the PBL model rather than the conventional model. This can be seen from the average student motivation using the PBL model in the initial data collection showed pracycle 5 3 .33 %, increased in cycle I 7 1 .55%, in cycle II 8 9 .95%. That means there is an effect of the use of the PBL model on student learning motivation in the ipas subject of grade 4 elementary school students .
