Improving Fifth-Grade Students' Mathematics Learning Outcomes through Animated Videos, Interactive Presentations, and Quizizz: A Classroom Action Research

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN 48 Andi Patiware, resulting from instruction that was still dominated by conventional methods, which caused students to be less active and to experience difficulty understanding fraction material. This study aimed to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes through the implementation of digital media assisted by the Quizizz application. The study employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method following the Kemmis and McTaggart model, carried out in two cycles comprising the stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects consisted of 28 fifth-grade students at SDN 48 Andi Patiware. Data collection techniques included observation, learning outcome tests, and documentation, while the data were analyzed descriptively using both quantitative and qualitative approaches based on the increase in average scores, learning mastery, and teacher and student activity. The results showed that the implementation of digital media assisted by Quizizz was found to improve students' mathematics learning outcomes. The students' average score increased from 58.5 in the pre-cycle to 68.2 in Cycle I and 79.6 in Cycle II. The percentage of learning mastery also increased from 35.7% to 57.1% and reached 85.7% in Cycle II, thereby exceeding the research success indicator of 75%. Teacher and student activity during the learning process also improved, from the Good and Fairly Good categories in Cycle I to Very Good in Cycle II. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the implementation of digital media assisted by Quizizz is effective in improving the mathematics learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SDN 48 Andi Patiware and can serve as an innovative alternative for learning in elementary schools.
