Abstract:
This research addresses the issue of passive student engagement and teacher-centered learning approaches in primary schools. To overcome these challenges, the study employs Microsoft PowerPoint as an instructional medium to enhance the learning experience. A Pre-Experimental Design research method is employed, conducted at SD Negeri Pejangkungan with thirty fourth-grade students as participants. Data collection involves the use of tests, and the obtained results are subjected to t-test analysis. The findings reveal a significant positive impact of utilizing Microsoft PowerPoint media on students' civics learning outcomes, as indicated by tcount (24.686) exceeding ttable (2.045). Additionally, eta squared analysis demonstrates a considerable influence of Microsoft PowerPoint media on learning outcomes (0.95>0.14). These results emphasize the potential of Microsoft PowerPoint as an effective tool to promote active learning and enhance students' academic achievements in various educational settings.
