Abstract

A learning process which rigid and monotonous can reduce students' interest and motivation. If it is done continuously, students become less motivated in learning. It will also affect their learning achievement. [1]. This situation also occurred in class V of Punggul 1 Elementary school, especially in social science learning about defending Indonesian independence. Based on the interviews with class V teachers of Punggul 1 Elementary School, the researcher obtained material of social science scores dealing with the material of Maintaining Indonesian Independence last year. From the data, it can be seen that students had not been able to absorb and understand the material optimally. The test results conducted by the teacher as an evaluation of learning, prove that, with KKM score of 75 for social studies subjects, there were 16 students who had not completed the KKM from the total number of 26 students in grade V SDN Punggul 1. From the data, it can be seen that 64% of students had not yet completed the KKM. It was because students did not actively participate in learning activities. The students feel bored with the ongoing learning. In the end, such phenomena had an impact on students’ learning achievement which made it not optimal. Such learning conditions, required a change in the learning model conducted by the teacher to be able to improve motivation and student achievement in a better direction.
