THE EFFECT OF RADEC LEARNING MODEL ON STUDENTS' SELF-EFFICACY IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN CIREBON CITY

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the RADEC (Read, Answer, Discuss, Explain, and Create) learning model on students' self-efficacy. This study used an experimental method with a pretest-posttest control group design. The population in this study consisted of fifth-grade students at SDN Sekecamatan Kesambi, Cirebon City, which holds an A accreditation. The sample consisted of 21 students from SDN Mega Eltra, the experimental group, and 26 students from SDN Karya Winaya, the control group. Data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire. Statistical tests included normality, homogeneity, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the N-Gain test. The analysis results showed moderate N-gain scores in the experimental group and low N-gain scores in the control group. This analysis suggests that the implementation of the RADEC learning model has a more significant impact on improving students' self-efficacy compared to the conventional image-assisted learning model, even after accounting for the initial score differences between the two groups.
