Efforts to Increase Science Learning Outcomes by Increasing Interaction Between Students in Learning

Abstract

Students experiencing difficulties in learning sometimes feel embarrassed to ask the teacher. They feel more comfortable asking their peers instead of their teachers. Therefore, there is a need to increase interaction and exchange between students. The researcher conducted a Classroom Action Study to determine whether student interaction can improve learning outcomes. This study aims to improve learning outcomes through increased student interaction using cooperative learning models. The subjects in this study were 37 grade IV elementary school students. Data was collected by giving written tests to students. Data analyzed by quantitative descriptive. Based on research, the average learning outcomes increase from 68.05 to 77.29, which means that interaction between students can improve their learning outcomes.
