Improving Social Studies Learning Outcomes Using PBL-Based Animated Videos in Elementary Schools

Abstrak

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) with animated videos to improve social studies learning outcomes for fifth-grade students at SDN 3 Mootilango, Gorontalo Regency. Employing a classroom action research design, the study involved two cycles of intervention, each incorporating PBL-based animated videos. The results show a significant improvement in student learning outcomes, with the percentage of students achieving the learning objectives increasing from 46% in the pre-action phase to 93% by the end of Cycle II. The findings suggest that this approach effectively engages students and enhances their understanding of social studies concepts. This study contributes to the literature by addressing gaps in the application of multimedia tools in education and provides practical insights for educators seeking to improve instructional strategies in social studies.
