Teacher’s Efforts to Enhance Students’ Competence in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah in Science Skills and Academic Achievement

Teaching using the demonstration model shows that we are ready to take risks by encouraging teachers and students to be, and this adds credibility and a foundation for various things in professional learning sessions. This research aims to improve academic achievement and student skills in science. This research uses an action research method with a cycle system, which consists of planning, implementation, observation, reflection, and revision. This practical action research was conducted on fourth grade MI students in elementary school in South Tangerang. The results show a gradual increase in student learning outcomes. Where pre-cycle shows only 59.25% of students who have completed mastery of learning outcomes, cycle 1 of student mastery learning increases to 74.07%, in cycle 2 student mastery of learning increases rapidly to 92.59%. This paper argues that the application of the demonstration model has been shown to improve student learning outcomes on science subjects. This research also shows that the direct teaching model is proven to be able to transfer science skills to students better.
