Improving Numeracy Skills Through The Team Games Tournament Model In Fifth-Grade Students at Paripurno Public Elementary School

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research aims to improve mathematics learning outcomes through the implementation of the Teams Games Tournament (TGT) model. The study was conducted at Paripurno Public Elementary School involving 30 fifth-grade students as the research subjects. The primary issue addressed was low student interest and academic achievement during the pre-cycle, with an average score of only 68.4 and 45% classical completeness. The research followed a two-cycle process including planning, action, observation, and reflection. Results showed significant improvement in Cycle II, where the average score rose to 82.3 with a completeness rate of 85%. Grounded in constructivism and Piaget's cognitive development theory, this success was driven by social interaction and healthy competition that facilitated independent knowledge construction. In conclusion, the TGT model effectively enhances learning outcomes, motivation, and active engagement among fifth-grade students at Paripurno Public Elementary School in mathematics lessons.
