The Effect Of The Make A Match Learning Model On The Social Science Learning Outcomes Of Grade VIII

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the Effect of the Make A Match Learning Model on the Social Studies Learning Outcomes of Class VIII Students of Tamansiswa Private Junior High School Pematangsiantar in the 2025/2026 Academic Year. Based on the discussion and results of research conducted by researchers, which shows that the Make A Match learning model has a significant effect on student learning outcomes in social studies learning in class VIII of Tamansiswa Private Junior High School Pematangsiantar. With the results of the data normality test obtained in the pretest of the experimental class sig. 0.221>0.05, posttest in the experimental class with a sig. 0.242>0.05. The pretest in the control class obtained a sig. 0.794>0.05 and in the posttest of the control class obtained a sig. 0.385>0.05 which means it is normally distributed. The Homogeneity test shows that the sig. data is 0.239>0.05 meaning that the variance between the experimental class and the control class is homogeneous. In the t-test using the independent samples test, the calculated t value> t table = 5.601> 2.014 was obtained. With a sig. value < of the sig level = 0.00<0.05, it means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that there is a significant influence of the application of the Make A Match learning model on the social studies learning outcomes of students in class VIII of Tamansiswa Private Middle School Pematangsiantar in the 2025/2026 Academic Year
