Latar belakang yang mendorong penelitian ini adalah rendahnya hasil belajar mata pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS). Hal tersebut disebabkan kurangnya model pembelajaran yang efektif dalam mengoptimalkan kemampuan siswa. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah: bagaimana keefektifan model pembelajaran Word Square berbantu media Puzzle untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar mata pelajaran IPS kelas 3 di SD Negeri 01 Wonopringgo Pekalongan. Jenis penelitian ini adalah True Experiment Design dengan jenis pretestposttest control group design satu macam perlakuan. Populasi penelitian ini adalah peserta didik kelas III A sejumlah 20 dan III B sejumlah 20 siswa SDN 01 Wonopringgo tahun ajaran 2016/2017. Sampel yang diambil adalah peserta didik kelas III A SDN 01 Wonopringgo tahun ajaran 2016/2017. Data dalam penelitian ini diperoleh melalui tes dan dokumentasi. Penelitian eksperimen pada kelas IIIA yang diberi model pembelajaran Word Square berbantu media Puzzle dan kelas IIIB tidak diberi model pembelajaran Word Square berbantu media Puzzle. Hasil posttest menunjukkan bahwa presentase nilai posttest kelas eksperimen adalah 95% siswa dinyatakan tuntas, sedangkan kelas kontrol adalah 70%, serta berdasarkan analisis uji t satu pihak didapat thitung> ttabel  = 3,100816112 > 1,72. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa pembelajaran dengan model Word Square berbantu media Puzzle efektif terhadap hasil belajar siswa dalam mata pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial (IPS) kelas III SDN 01 Wonopringgo Pekalongan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, maka saran yang dapat disampaikan adalah sebaiknya model pembelajaran Word Square berbantu media Puzzle digunakan oleh guru sebagai model pembelajaran alternative dalam proses belajar mengajar di kelas III, karena dapat memberikan kesempatan kepada siswa untuk lebih aktif, berfikir secara individu dan kelompok serta saling membantu dalam memahami suatu permasalahan.  Kata kunci: keefektifan, word square, puzzle, hasil belajar

ABSTRACT

The encouraging background of this research was the low of learning outcomes of Social subjects (IPS). This was due to the lack of effective learning models in optimizing the ability of students.  The problems of this research was: how the effectiveness of Word Square learning model supported by Puzzle media to improve learning outcome of Social subject the third grade at SD Negeri 01 Wonopringgo Pekalongan.  The type of the research was True Experiment Design with type of pretest-posttest control group design one kind of treatment. The population of this research were 20 students number of the third grade of A and 20 students number of the third grade of B at SDN 01 Wonopringgo in the academic year 2016/2017. The samples were taken from students of the third grade of A SDN 01 Wonopringgo in the academic year 2016/2017. The data in this study was obtained through tests and documentation. Experimental research on the third grade of A which was given Word Square learning model supported by Puzzle media and the third grade of B was not given Word Square learning model supported by Puzzle media.  Posttest results showed that the percentage of posttest grade of the experimental class was 95% of students expressed thoroughly, while the control class is 70%, and based on t test one-party analysis obtained ttest > ttable = 3,100816112> 1.72. Thus, it could be concluded that the learning with Word Square model supported by Puzzle media was effective against student learning outcomes in Social subjects (IPS) the third grade at SDN 01 Wonopringgo Pekalongan.  Based on the results of this research, the suggestion that could be submitted is the Word Square learning model supported by Puzzle media should be used by the teacher as an alternative learning model in teaching and learning process on the third grade, because it could provide a chance for students to be more active, thinking individually and in groups and also can help each other in understanding a problem.
