THE INFLUENCE OF THE SORT CARD METHOD WITH WORDWALL MEDIA ON STUDENTS' LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN SOCIAL SCIENCES LEARNING AT CLASS VII MTsN 3 LIMA PULUH KOTA

Abstract

This research is based on the lack of activity of students during social studies learning. Based on preliminary studies, it was found that students did not pay attention to the educator's explanations and some students did activities that had nothing to do with learning such as putting their heads on the table, shaking ballpoint pens and students had a low level of asking questions and giving answers. One of the things that can be done to overcome this is to use the card sort method assisted by wordwall media in social studies learning. This study aims to (1) find out the intensity of classroom learning activity using conventional methods in social studies learning in MTsN 3 Fifty Cities; (2) to find out the picture of classroom learning activity using the card sort method assisted by wordwall media in social studies learning in MTsN 3 Fifty Cities; (3) to determine the influence of the card sort method assisted by wordwall media on the activity of learning peseta in MTsN 3 Fifty Cities. This type of research is an experiment and a quasi-experimental research design using a pretest posttest with non-equivalent control group design. The population in this study is all grade VII students at MTsN 3 Fifty Cities for the 2023/2024 school year. Sampling was carried out by purposive sampling technique by selecting class VII. 9 as the experimental class and class VII.8 as the control class. The results of the study showed, among others, (1) the average pretest of the control class was 65.47 and the average posttest of the control class was 68.06, which was in the high category. (2) The average pretest of the experimental class learning activity was 69.47 and the average posttest of the experimental class was 78.63, which was in the high category. (3) the results of the hypothesis test with SPSS software version 20 obtained a value of t = 6.170, meaning that t calculated > t table (6.170>1.66 and 6.170>1.29) then Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected, which means that there was an influence of the card sort method assisted by wordwall media on students' learning activity in social science class VII at MTsN 3 Fifty Cities.
