Effectiveness of the Edugame-Based Problem-Based Learning Model in Improving Learning Outcomes in Pancasila Education

Suboptimal student learning outcomes indicate a gap between expectations and reality, emphasizing the need for improvements in the learning process. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the edugame-assisted problem-based learning model in enhancing the learning outcomes of Grade V students in Pancasila Education at SDN 3 Karanggondang. A quantitative research method was employed using a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Sampling was conducted through a saturated sampling technique, involving all fifth-grade students as the sample. Multiple-choice test instruments were used for data collection and underwent rigorous testing for validity, reliability, difficulty levels, and differentiation before being implemented as pretest and posttest assessments. Data analysis techniques included normality testing, a paired-sample t-test, and an ANOVA test. The results indicated that the average pretest learning outcome was 50.5, with a completeness rate of 11.1%. In the posttest, the average increased to 82.1, with a completeness rate of 85.1%. The normality test results for the pretest and posttest were 0.214 and 0.088, respectively, confirming that the data were normally distributed. Furthermore, the paired-sample t-test yielded a significance value (p) of 0.01 0.05, leading to the rejection of Ho and the acceptance of Ha, demonstrating the effectiveness of the applied model. The ANOVA test showed that the model contributed 66.3% to the learning outcomes. Therefore, it can be concluded that the edugame-assisted problem-based learning model is highly effective in improving the learning outcomes of Grade V students in Pancasila Education at SDN 3 Karanggondang.
