USE OF LEARNING MODEL PROJECT BASED LEARNING FOR

IMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONCEPT OF STUDENT

LEARNING ON THE THEMATIC LEARNING IN THEME ALWAYS
SAVE ENERGY

ABSTRACT

Learning is an activity that teachers do to achieve the goal of learning is

good. To achieve these objectives the teacher make efforts so that an increase in
the desired student learning outcomes. Based on the researcher's field notes that
the low quality of thematic learning. Therefore, a teacher needs to consider a
model for effective learning and appropriate in order to improve student learning
outcomes. One of the learning model is tested through this study is a model of
learning Project Based Learning.
This study aims to (1) assess the understanding of the concept of fourth
grade students learn SDN I Tanjunganom Cirebon after learning model using
Project Based Learning. (2) To reveal the understanding of the concept of fourth
grade students learn SDN I Tanjunganom Cirebon before and after using the
Project Based Learning model of learning. (3) Improve understanding of the
concept of fourth grade students learn SDN I Tanjunganom Cirebon through
Project Based Learning model of learning.
The results showed that the use of Project Based Learning model of
teaching, student learning outcomes in a variety of source material energy 2
learning activities can be improved. Variations learning model using Project
Based Learning can also show the involvement of the student in the learning
Themes Always follow Frugality Subtheme Various Energy Sources Energy
Learning Activity 2 so that the learning outcomes of students experienced an
average increase of 62.5% in the first cycle to 84.37 % in the second cycle.
From the above researchers concluded, that the Project Based Learning
model of teaching used by teachers can enhance students' understanding of the
concept study, researchers therefore suggest that the model of learning Project
Based Learning socialized and used as an alternative in thematic learning in
school.
