Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of seventh-grade students (class VII-1) at SMPN 1 Angkola Sangkunur on the topic of sujud through the implementation of the demonstration method. This research employs a classroom action research (CAR) method conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this study were 32 students from class VII-1. Data collection techniques included learning outcome tests, observations, and documentation.

This is evident from the increase in students' average scores, which rose from 70 in the first cycle to 85 in the second cycle. Furthermore, students became more active and enthusiastic in the learning process. Thus, the demonstration method has proven to be effective in enhancing students' learning outcomes on the topic of sujud in class VII-1 at SMPN 1 Angkola Sangkunur.
