The Implementation of Demonstration Method to Increase Learning Outcome in Natural Science Lessons

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low understanding of students' concepts in science learning in grade 2 State Elementary Schools. Researchers provide solutions by applying the demonstration method, a learning method by demonstrating items, events, rules and sequences of carrying out an activity, either directly or through the use of teaching media that are relevant to the subject or material being presented. This type of research is classroom action research. This research has two cycles. Each cycle consists of two sessions and four phases, namely planning, implementation, observation and reflection. The subjects of this study were 2nd grade elementary school students, totaling 21 people. The results of the study concluded that the use of the demonstration method could improve student learning outcomes in science subjects in Grade 2 of State Elementary Schools.

Pengalaman Para Guru dalam Melaksanakan Pembelajaran Setelah Berakhirnya Pemberlakuan Pembatasan Kegiatan Masyarakat

“…Mereka juga mengupayakan tersedianya desain pembelajaran yang dilengkapi dengan bahan dan metode belajar yang sesuai dengan kondisi para murid. Desain pembelajaran seperti ini didasarkan pada gagasan Pangaribuan et al, (2022) tentang pembelajaran kontekstual yang berorientasi pada pemekaran bakat-bakat anak secara integral.…”

Implementation of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning Model Learning (Pogil) on Understanding of Science Concepts, Skills Science Process and Student's Critical Thinking Ability

“…Science aims to prepare students who are literate in science and technology, to understand themselves and the surrounding environment through the development of process skills, scientific attitudes, thinking skills, mastery of essential science concepts, technological activities and environmental management efforts Zhang et al, (2017); Pangaribuan et al, (2022). Science learning should develop the ability to think, be carried out by scientific inquiry, work, and behave scientifically and be able to communicate it as an important aspect of life skills.…”

The Effect of Geographical Education in Improving The Character of Educational Insights Students: A Study of Geographical Education

“…It's important to integrate character education into every learning strategy, including geography. Environmental education relies heavily on geography and other scientific disciplines, such as biology, chemistry, and physics, to achieve its goals (Pangaribuan et al, 2022). When we talk about geography, we're talking about the planet's surface as well as its various subsystems and interconnections.…”
