Optimalization of Mathematical Learning Outcome by Using the Smart Boxes Media at Primary School

摘要

The materials in mathematics taught to elementary school-aged children who are still in the stage of pre-operational concrete thinking are abstract. This leads to difficulties for students in understanding the materials particularly the properties of build space which in turn impacted students' learning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the application of smart boxed media on teacher activity, student activity, and student learning outcomes. This type of research is a Class Action Research (Penelitian Tindakan Kelas, CAR) conducted in 4 cycles. This research was carried out at SDN Cindai Alus 1 Kabupaten Banjar in semester 2 (even) academic year 2016/2017. The subjects of this research were grade V students with a total number of 33 persons. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that the implementation of Connecting Organizing Reflecting Extending learning model, combined with Group Investigation, Course Review Horay and Smart Boxes media increased teacher's activity, students' activity and learning outcomes. So, it is suggested for teachers to implement them as alternative strategies in teaching and learning Mathematics.
