Abstract

This study aims to improve students’ motivation and cognitive ability through the implementation of model simulation. The subjects are fifth graders at SDN Wonorejo IV/315 in Tegalsari, Surabaya. This classroom action research used interview and observation to collect the research data. Data validity techniques used were source and time triangulation. Interactive analysis technique consisted of three components: data reduction, presentation of data and conclusion. Research procedure consisted of four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research process was done in two cycles, the first and second cycles. The result showed an increased motivation to learn civic education due to the implementation of model simulation. This can be seen from the increase in students’ activities in learning. Percentage of students’ learning outcomes which was initially only 40.65% or as many as 13 students had succeeded minimum score (KKM) increased as many as 25% to 65% out of a total of 32 students. Thus, the total of the students who successfully fulfill KKM amounted to 21. In the second cycle, the number of students who have succeeded KKM was 87.50% or 28 students.
