Analysis of students' learning interests through the use of visual learning media with a problem-based learning model in science lessons for class IV SDN 95/II Muara Bungo

Abstract

The background of this research is that the learning conditions of students appear less conducive, many students appear unenthusiastic in participating in lessons. They often make noise, daydream, sleep in class and even fight with each other. The teacher who teaches has difficulty attracting their attention, because most students are more interested in playing than studying. In addition, the teacher rarely uses media and learning models when teaching, he only often uses the lecture method, so that students are easily bored and uninterested in participating in learning. This can be evidenced by the lack of student interest in participating in learning and low learning outcomes, and resulting in learning objectives not being achieved. With these various factors, students' interest in learning at the school is low, which has an impact on their less than satisfactory academic achievement. This study used a qualitative descriptive research method. The results of this study, namely the application of visual learning media (images) combined with the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model effectively increased student learning interest in science learning. This improvement was seen in five main aspects: students showed a feeling of enjoyment while learning, were more active and involved in learning activities, had a high interest in the material, paid more attention when the teacher delivered the material, and had a strong desire to learn.
