MIKIR LEARNING WITH GO "ADIK SIMBA" FOR INDONESIAN LANGUAGE EDUCATION

Abstract

Indonesian language learning in general is still monotonous, resulting in low student engagement in learning, particularly in class 5 of MI Ya BAKII Kesugihan 01. The "ADIK SIMBA" GO (Active Learning Media) is one of the tools that teachers can utilize to promote active learning using the MIKiR (Experiencing, Interacting, Communicating, Reflecting) approach in the Indonesian language learning process. This study is a qualitative research employing a case study design. The research subjects consist of teachers and students from class 5 of MI Ya BAKII Kesugihan 01. Data collection was conducted through interviews, observations, documentation, and field notes. MIKiR is a learning approach introduced by the Tanoto Foundation. During the learning process, students engage in discussions, both in pairs and groups, and create their own GO, enabling them to record important information and easily summarize the presented reading texts. The GO 'ADIK SIMBA' learning media is an acronym for several question words (What, Where, When, Who, Why, and How). Meanwhile, GO stands for Graphic Organizer. In Indonesian language learning, the GO does not have to adhere to the typical graph format, but can be creatively customized as needed (such as in the form of a flower, tree, etc.). This approach has been proven to effectively activate students in learning Indonesian language in class 5 of MI Ya BAKII Kesugihan 01.
