PENGARUH METODE OUTDOOR STUDY TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA KONSEP IPA KELAS IV SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstrak: IPA meliputi beberapa aspek yaitu faktual, keseimbangan proses dan produk, serta pengembangan sikap ilmiah. Pembelajaran bersifat formal membuat siswa tidak leluasa mengembangkan potensinya. Hasil evaluasi belajar IPA kelas IV semester 1 berada di bawah standar, yaitu 65,5%. Outdoor Study menjadi alternatif karena memberikan contoh konkret yang ada di lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh metode Outdoor Study terhadap hasil belajar siswa pada konsep IPA kelas IV SD. Penelitian menggunakan eksperimen kuantitatif metode Pre-Experiment, desain One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Uji normalitas menunjukkan hitung 8,3015 < 11,070. Analisis t-test diperoleh   2,045 yang menunjukkan adanya perbedaan signifikan antara pre-test dan post-test, yaitu sebesar 18,8% dengan gain ternormalisasi 0,63 (kategori sedang). Dapat dikatakan metode Outdoor Study berpengaruh positif terhadap hasil belajar siswa.

The formal learning made the students didn’t free enough to develop their potential. The result of evaluation outcomes in science subject of fourth grade student in the first semester was under the standard, 65,5%.Outdoor Study became an alternative because it gave a concrete examples in our environment. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of Outdoor Study towards student learning outcomes in the science concept of fourth grade student. This research used quantitative experimental research, Pre-Experiment method, One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. Normality analysis showed    8.3015 <  11.070. T-test analysis result 13.42 >  2,045 and it showed significant difference between pre-test and post-test, that was 18.8% with normalized gain 0.63 (medium category). Based on this result it could be said that Outdoor Study method gave positive effect towards student learning Outcomes.  Keywords: Outdoor Study, learning outcomes, science concep
