Case Method Learning Model As A Strategy To Improve History Learning Outcomes In Class XI Merdeka

This study aims to: (1) improve the effectiveness of teacher teaching in history learning through the application of the Case Method learning model in class XI Merdeka 8 SMA Negeri 3 Kendari, (2) improve student learning activities through the application of the Case Method learning model in class XI Merdeka 8 SMA Negeri 3 Kendari, and (3) improve student learning outcomes in history subjects through the application of the Case Method learning model in class XI Merdeka 8 SMA Negeri 3 Kendari. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle includes the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation and learning outcome tests. The data analysis technique used the percentage of completeness, with a minimum completeness criterion (KKM) of 75 and the target for research success was 80% of students achieving that value. The results of the study showed that: 1) The effectiveness of teacher teaching in history subjects in class XI Merdeka 8 has increased. In Cycle I, the effectiveness of teacher teaching reached a percentage of 73.68% and increased to 94.74% in Cycle II. Thus, the performance indicator of teacher teaching effectiveness, which is 90%, has been achieved. Student learning activities also showed a significant increase. In Cycle I, the percentage of student learning activities was 61.11% and increased to 94.44% in Cycle II. This shows that the performance indicator of student learning activities, which is 90%, has been achieved. Student learning outcomes in history subjects in class XI Merdeka 8 also increased. In Cycle I, only 48% of students achieved a score of ≥75, while in Cycle II the percentage increased to 88%. Thus, the performance indicator of student learning outcomes, which is 80%, has been achieved. This increase shows that the application of the Case Method learning model is effective in improving teacher teaching effectiveness, student learning activities, and student learning outcomes in history subjects.
