The Use Of Demonstration Method In Magnetic Media To Improve Students Activity At The Fifth Grade Student In Sd Negeri 08 Pinang Sebatang Timur In Kecamatan Tualang Kabupaten Siak

Abstract

Students are accustomed to memorizing facts, principles, formulas, laws and problems given by the teacher, thus understanding the concept tends to be low.

Based on the above, then that becomes the problem in this study can be formulated as follows: 1) Do the media magnets, magnetic objects, cable and battery can improve student achievement at the fifth grade student in SD Negeri 08 Pinang sebatang Timur Kecamatan Tualang Kabupaten Siak about making magnets ? 2) Does the demonstration method can improve students' learning activities at the fifth grade students in SD Negeri 08 Pinang sebatang Timur Kecamatan Tualang Kabupaten Siak about making a magnet?

The subject in this classroom action research is a fifth grade students of SDN 08 Pinang sebatang Timur Kecamatan Tualang Kabupaten Siak at the second semester in the academic year 2014/2015 the number of students 25 people, consisting of 9 men and 16 women with different levels of ability to understand the lesson.
