Exploration of Concrete Media in Improving Mathematics Learning Outcomes of Elemantary School Strudents in the Independent Curriculum

Cindy Claudya, Candra Utama

Abstract


This study aims to observe and analyze how the use of concrete media has an impact on the understanding of students' mathematics learning outcomes. The type of research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach and data collection techniques through direct field observation, interviews, and documentation. This research was carried out at Wonokerto State Elementary School 4, with the implementation of the research carried out twice in phase C, namely in grade 5 (32 students) and grade 6 (20 students). And with one teacher, in grade 5 the teacher uses a wall clock as a concrete medium to learn angle material, while in grade 6 the teacher uses a puzzle mat arranged with various forms of nets to learn the material to build a cube room. The results of the study show that concrete media increases student interest and participation and shows that the use of concrete media can increase student understanding by 90% and more effective and efficient learning. Communicative teachers also play an important role in supporting students who are experiencing difficulties. These findings show that concrete media is an effective tool to improve student learning outcomes in mathematics.
