Abstract

This study aims to improve the effectiveness of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) learning through the use of active learning strategies among fifth grade students at UPT SD Inpres 10/73 Welado, Bone Regency. The research was conducted using Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a cyclical model consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects of this study were fifth grade students, while the object of the study was the effectiveness of ICT learning, which was measured through student learning outcomes, learning activities, and student engagement during the learning process. Active learning strategies implemented in this study included group discussions, hands-on practice, question-and-answer activities, and collaborative learning. The results showed a significant improvement in learning effectiveness, indicated by increased student participation, higher motivation, and improved learning outcomes from the first cycle to the second cycle. These findings suggest that the use of active learning strategies can effectively enhance ICT learning effectiveness and create a more interactive and student-centered learning environment in elementary schools.
