Peningkatan Penerapan Metode Bercerita dan Bernyanyi untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Agama Hindu pada Siswa Kelas III SD Negeri 1 Seraya Timur

Abstract

This research aims to improve the learning outcomes of Hindu Religion for third-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Seraya Timur through the application of storytelling and singing methods. These methods were chosen because they are believed to create a fun and interactive learning environment, encouraging active student participation in the learning process. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of four stages: planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The results of Cycle I showed that although the average student score reached 75 and the absorption rate was 76.25%, the classical completeness only reached 50%, meaning half of the students had not yet met the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM). After improvements were made in Cycle II, including adding more varied and engaging songs and stories, the students' learning outcomes improved significantly. In Cycle II, the average student score increased to 85.5, with an absorption rate of 85.50%, and the classical completeness reached 100%, meaning all students met the KKM. The implementation of storytelling and singing methods proved effective in enhancing students' motivation and understanding of the Hindu Religion subject, leading to the conclusion that these methods can serve as relevant teaching strategies for use in elementary schools
