The effect of using play-think-pair-share (PTPS) model to improve student learning outcomes in magnet topic for elementary school

Abstract

Abstract This research is motivated by the low student learning outcomes of science in magnet topic. To improve student learning outcomes on magnet topic, the application of a model that has accommodated the principles of learning at the elementary school level is needed. The model in question is PTPS. The purpose of this study was to see the effect of the PTPS learning model in improving students’ science learning outcomes on magnet topic. This type of research is quasi-experimental, with a sample of all class VI students enrolled in SDN 12 Nan Sabaris in the 2018/2019 school year. The sampling technique is purposive sampling, and data analysis techniques used a paired sample t-test. Based on the results of data analysis it can be concluded that there are significant differences in learning outcomes between before using the PTPS model and after the use of the PTPS model.
