PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN ROLE PLAYING UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KEPERCAYAAN DIRI SISWA SMA

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of students' self-confidence in Catholic Religious Education learning, as reflected in their lack of courage to express opinions, limited independence in making decisions, and low confidence in their own abilities. Although the Role Playing learning model has been widely implemented to enhance student participation, its application in Catholic Religious Education at the senior high school level, particularly with a focus on four dimensions of self-confidence, remains limited. This study aimed to improve the self-confidence of Phase E Grade X-1 students in Catholic Religious Education through the implementation of the Role Playing learning model at Santo Yoseph Senior High School Medan. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach conducted in two cycles, consisting of the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation and documentation. The results showed that the implementation of the Role Playing learning model successfully improved students' self-confidence. In the pre-action stage, students' self-confidence reached only 35%, while 65% of the students had not yet achieved the expected level. The main finding of this study indicates that students' self-confidence improved from Cycle I to Cycle II following the implementation of the Role Playing learning model. The improvement was reflected in students' confidence in their own abilities, independence in decision-making, optimism in facing challenges, and courage to express their opinions. In addition, students demonstrated greater confidence in speaking in front of the class, participating in discussions, collaborating in groups, and expressing their ideas throughout the learning process. Therefore, the implementation of the Role Playing learning model proved to be effective in improving students' self-confidence in Catholic Religious Education learning at Santo Yoseph Senior High School Medan.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh masih rendahnya kepercayaan diri siswa dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Katolik, yang ditunjukkan melalui kurangnya keberanian mengemukakan pendapat, rendahnya kemandirian dalam mengambil keputusan, serta kurangnya keyakinan terhadap kemampuan diri sendiri. Meskipun model pembelajaran Role Playing telah banyak digunakan untuk meningkatkan partisipasi belajar, penerapannya dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Katolik di jenjang SMA dengan fokus pada empat indikator kepercayaan diri masih relatif terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kepercayaan diri siswa Fase E kelas X-1 pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Katolik melalui penerapan Model Pembelajaran Role Playing di SMA Santo Yoseph Medan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus melalui tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi dan refleksi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan observasi dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model pembelajaran Role Playing mampu meningkatkan kepercayaan diri siswa. Pada pra-tindakan, kepercayaan diri siswa hanya mencapai 35%, sedangkan 65% siswa masih berada pada kategori belum tuntas. Temuan utama penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepercayaan diri siswa meningkat dari Siklus I ke Siklus II setelah penerapan model pembelajaran Role Playing. Peningkatan tersebut terlihat pada aspek percaya pada kemampuan diri sendiri, bertindak mandiri dalam mengambil keputusan, optimis dalam mengambil keputusan, dan berani mengemukakan pendapat. Selain itu, peserta didik menunjukkan keberanian yang lebih baik dalam tampil di depan kelas, berpartisipasi dalam diskusi, bekerja sama dalam kelompok, serta menyampaikan pendapat selama proses pembelajaran berlangsung. Dengan demikian, penerapan model pembelajaran Role Playing terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan kepercayaan diri siswa pada pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Katolik di SMA Santo Yoseph Medan.
