Abstract

Learning motivation is one of the essential aspects that influence students' academic success in elementary school. One of the efforts that can be made to improve learning motivation is by applying varied and enjoyable learning methods, such as the outdoor class method. Learning outside the classroom provides students with opportunities to directly experience the objects being studied, making learning more contextual and meaningful. The problem addressed in this research is: What is the effect of applying the outdoor class learning method on the learning motivation of fourth grade students in the IPAS subject on the topic of plant body parts at SD Negeri 1 Kawan Bangli. This study aims to determine the effect of the outdoor class learning method on the learning motivation of fourth grade students at SD Negeri 1 Kawan in the subject of Science and Social Studies (IPAS), specifically on the topic of plant body parts. The method used in this research is quantitative with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study involved 31 fourth-grade students. The instrument used was a learning motivation questionnaire given before and after the implementation of the outdoor class method. The data analysis showed that the average pretest score was 192.02. The results of the paired sample t-test indicated a significant difference between the scores before and after the treatment, with a t-value of -5.799 and a significance value of 0.001 < 0.05. This indicates that the outdoor class method has a significant effect on students' learning motivation.
