Improve the Learning Outcomes of Mathematics Through the Learning Model of Talking Stick in the Fifth-Grade of Public Primary School 060843 of Medan Barat

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the increase in learning outcomes of mathematics through the learning model of Talking Stick in fifth-grade of Public Primary School 060843 of Medan Barat. Learning model used is Talking Stick. This study is a Classroom Action Research.The implementation of this research is done in 2 Cycles that are Cycle I and II. Each cycle consists of four stages: planning, action, observation and reflection / evaluation.The research instrument uses an observation sheet of the implementation of learning and tests. Subjects in this study were the fifth-grade students of Public Primary School as many as one class with 45 students consisting of 22 male students and 23 female students. From the pretest done to 45 students there are 8 students who complete the study and 37 students of students still classified not yet complete study. Based on the pre test data the students can be said still classified not yet completed classically. Furthermore after the implementation of Cycle I there are 30 of students who complete learning and 15 of students who do not complete learning (increased by 48.89%). Then Cycle II was implemented and improved in rate of completeness was achieved, i.e. students who completed the study consisted of 41 of students (increased by 24.44%). Thus it can be concluded that the use of learning model of Talking Stick can improve the learning outcomes of mathematics of students in the fifth-grade of Public Primary School.
