Abstract

This study was back grounded by students' mathematics learning outcome which was low in the topic of fraction addition, so the solution was needed to enhance students' learning outcome. The use of drawing media was thought as one right solution. Drawing media is a tool used as mediator to deliver information in the form of drawing. This drawing media is used to bridge student level thinking which need a concrete thing for abstract mathematics learning. This study was aimed to find out students' mathematics learning outcome after applying drawing media in the topic of fraction. The method used in this study was Classroom Action Research (CAR) of teacher-researcher collaboration. The subjects of study were 3rd grade students of SD Laboratorium UPI with total of 30 students. This study was implemented in two cycles. The instrument used were test, students' observation sheet and teacher observation sheet. The result of CAR implementation was that there was enhancement in students' learning outcome started from pre-cycle until cycle II. The enhancement of learning outcome is showed by the increase of Classical Absorption Capacity (CAC) score in which in pre-cycle was 23.3%, in cycle I was 60%, and in cycle II was increased to 83.3%. The recommendation of this study was that teacher can apply drawing media as alternative in enhancing mathematics learning outcome in the topic of fraction addition. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
