THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THEMATIC LIFE-BASED LEARNING EFFECTS ON STUDENTS' LEARNING OUTCOMES

Education

Learning that emphasizes life-based thematic learning strategies can contribute to the achievement of learning objectives. This learning strategy is holistic in nature to produce meaningful learning under the characteristics of students, in direct contact with real contexts and learning in real life. This study aims to examine the effects of thematic life-based learning on student learning outcomes. The method used is an experimental study using a sample of 256 students from SDN Gayungan II, SDN Dukuh Menaggal I, SDN Ketintang I and SDN Menanggal 601. One of the considerations for selecting several of these elementary schools was that these elementary schools had an A accreditation score. The study results show that thematic life-based learning has a positive and significant effect on student learning outcomes. The learning outcomes of students based on thematic life-based learning are better than the learning outcomes of students based on thematic learning. Thematic life-based learning strategies can increase student motivation in learning because this strategy is associated with the daily life skills of students. The study results also provide empirical implications for further research and practical implications for teachers.
