Abstract

Learning models are necessary because one of the purposes of using learning models is to improve students' abilities. One of the learning models that can be used in elementary school is role-playing. This study aims to know the effectiveness of using role-playing in mathematics learning, especially in an arithmetic operation. This research used quantitative research with a pre-experimental design; it’s a one-shot case study. This research's subject was Elementary School 278 Padakallawa's fourth-grade students at Pinrang Regency, South Sulawesi. The data were obtained using two instruments: learning achievement test sheets and activity observation sheets. The collected data are analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result showed that the implementation of role-playing in mathematics learning achieved the established effectiveness indicators, which are (1) the percentage of learning activities was in the good category of 61.11%, and (2) learning mastery was classically 90.5% exceeding the set standard of 85%. It can be concluded that role-playing can develop students’ character and can be a very effective way to increase their creativity and self-confidence.
