Abstract

The research aims to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN 01 Klegen, Madiun City, through the application of the Role Playing method. This study was conducted in the even semester of the 2023/2024 academic year with 29 students as research subjects. The type of research used is collaborative Classroom Action Research (CAR). Data collection was done using observation, interviews, documentation, and tests. Through the application of the Role Playing method, students were able to focus on demonstrating the fulfillment of needs before money was discovered. The initial condition of completeness percentage was 31.03%, then increased to 62.07% with 18 students in cycle I. In cycle I, learning outcomes increased but were not optimal, so the implementation phase of cycle II was carried out and achieved 100% completeness. With the application of the Role Playing method, teachers invite students to role-play by bringing real-world situations into the classroom, allowing students to directly experience situations and conditions in their surrounding environment to solve problems of fulfilling needs. Thus, the Role Playing method can improve student learning outcomes.
