Penerapan Strategi Pembelajaran Snowball Throwing untuk Meningkatkan Hasil Belajar Matematika Pada Materi Kubus dan Balok

Abstract

This study aims to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of grade IX students of MTsN 1 Probolinggo on the material of cubes and cuboids through the application of the Snowball Throwing learning strategy. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) which is carried out in two cycles, including the planning stage, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects were 29 students with a Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) of 75. Data collection techniques used learning outcome tests, observation, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in student learning outcomes. The average student score at the initial stage was 68.93 with a completeness of 58.62%. After the application of the Snowball Throwing strategy in cycle I, the average score increased to 89.48 with a completeness of 86.21%. In cycle II, the average score reached 95.52 with a classical completeness of 100%. These results indicate that the Snowball Throwing learning strategy is effective in improving students' mathematics learning outcomes on the material of cubes and cuboids.
