Improving 2nd Graders’ Calculation Skill through Pathilan Traditional Game
Abstract: This research was
carried out by the fact that many students are not interested in mathematics,
and their calculation skill is still under expectation. Less of student
engagement and too much teacher intervention are still dominating along
mathematics learning process. This study aimed to improve 2nd grade students’
calculation skill through Pathilan traditional game in MI Muhammadiyah
Bekangan. This research subject were 29 2nd graders of MI Muhammadiyah Bekangan
period 2015/2016. This research combines classroom action research which refers
to Stephen Kemmis and Robin Mc Taggart. This research was conducted in two
cycles and each cycle was done in two meetings. Every cycle consisted of 4
steps i.e. preparation, action, observation, evaluation, analysis and
reflection. The technique of collecting data was done by assessing test result
and observation, test instrument, observation sheet, and field notes. The data
was analyzed by using quantitative-descriptive approach. The study showed that
students’ learning results were bellow minimum limit of 50% completeness before
the implementation Pathilan traditional game during learning process. After the
implementation of Pathilan traditional game, the percentage of students’
learning results that passed minimum limit (KKM) of 50% completeness was
improving, from 75,86% in the first cycle to 86,21% in the second cylce. The
