PENGGUNAAN MEDIA KARTU PERAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN MINAT BELAJAR IPAS DI KELAS IV SD INPRES 6/80 KAWERANG KABUPATEN BONE

Abstract

This study is a classroom action research study aimed at increasing interest in learning
Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) in fourth-grade elementary school students through the
use of role cards. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of four stages:
planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 23 fourth-grade
students. Data collection techniques included observations of teacher and student activities
during the learning process and a questionnaire on learning interest in IPAS to measure the
effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed an increase in student learning interest
from cycle I to cycle II. In cycle I, 9 students (39.13%) achieved the learning interest success
indicator, while 14 students (60.87%) did not achieve the success indicator. After improving
learning in Cycle II by optimizing the use of role cards, all 21 students (91,3%) successfully
achieved the learning interest indicator. Furthermore, teacher and student activity also
improved, as evidenced by the increase in the percentage of learning implementation from
"adequate" in the initial meeting to "good" in the subsequent meeting. Based on the problem
formulation, data analysis, and discussion, it can be concluded that the use of role cards can
increase interest in learning science in fourth-grade students. Role cards help create an active,
enjoyable, and participatory learning environment, encouraging students to be more involved
in the learning process. Therefore, role cards are recommended as an alternative learning
medium for science in elementary schools to increase student interest.
