PENINGKATAN DISIPLIN SISWA MELALUI METODE REWARD AND PUNISHMENT DALAM PEMBELAJARAN MATEMATIKA DI MI CIBOLANG KIDUL

Abstract

This study aims to improve student discipline in mathematics learning through the application of the reward and punishment method at MI Cibolang Kidul. Student discipline is one of the important factors in the success of the teaching and learning process, especially in mathematics subjects that require high concentration and perseverance. The method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR) with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of the study were grade 3 students of MI Cibolang Kidul. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student discipline after the implementation of the reward and punishment method. This increase can be seen from the more punctual student attendance, compliance with class rules, and active participation in learning. In conclusion, the reward and punishment method is effective in improving student discipline in mathematics learning and can be used as an alternative strategy in classroom management.
