Optimalisasi Pembelajaran IPA Terpadu melalui Metode Belajar Aktif Tipe Quiz Team pada Siswa Kelas VIII SMP Muhammadiyah Kota Bima

Abstract

This study aims to improve the integrated science learning outcomes of eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah Kota Bima through the implementation of the active learning method Quiz Team. The study was motivated by low student achievement caused by teacher-centered instructional practices that limited student participation. This research employed a quantitative approach using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 30 eighth-grade students. Data were collected using multiple-choice achievement tests consisting of 20 items and observation sheets to assess the implementation of the learning process. Data were analyzed using descriptive percentage techniques based on the Minimum Mastery Criteria (MMC). The results showed a clear improvement in student learning outcomes, with mastery learning increasing from 63% in Cycle I (19 students achieved mastery) to 90% in Cycle II (27 students achieved mastery). These findings indicate that the Quiz Team method effectively enhances student engagement and learning outcomes. The limitations of this study include the limited number of participants and the short duration of the research, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Future studies are recommended to apply this method to different subjects and educational levels.
