Application of the Backward Design Approach in Enhancing Student Thematic Learning Outcomes

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low quality of the learning process and learning outcomes, the solution to solving this problem is the use of power point media in the learning process. The aim of this research is to describe improving the quality of the learning process and learning outcomes. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (PTK). The research subjects were class III students at SDN 08 Batang Lolo, Koto Parik Gadang Diateh District, South Solok Regency in semester 1 of the 2023/2024 academic year. This research was conducted over two cycles, each cycle having two meetings. This research succeeded in improving student learning outcomes in thematic learning. The increase in learning outcomes is marked by an increase in learning completeness and class average scores. In the first cycle, the success indicators were 60% Indonesian Language completion, 67% Mathematics and 60% SBDP, then increased in the second cycle, Indonesian Language 80%, Mathematics 87% and SBDP 87%. Meanwhile, the increase in the average class score in cycle I for Indonesian was 75, Mathematics was 77, and SBDP was 77. Then, in cycle II Indonesian was 90, Mathematics 85, and SBDP 81. Based on the results of this research, it can be concluded that Power points media can improve the process and learning outcomes of thematic learning in class III of SDN 08 Batang Lolo, Koto Parik Gadang Diateh District, South Solok Regency.
