INTRODUCTION

Education is a very important part for humans to actualize their potential in order to

carry out their functions as caliphs on earth, therefore elementary schools are places where

students can undergo basic education in order to develop their potential so as to form

knowledge and skills. new ones (Mu'in, 2016). Educators as one of the components that

determine the success of students in teaching and learning activities must have the ability to

teach professionally and be skilled in using models, methods and learning media that are

innovative, varied and interesting (Wuryandani & Fathurrohman, 2016 ) . Not only that,

educators are also required to be able to take concrete actions in class in providing

information emphatically, politely and effectively (Pusposari, 2017).

AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

Educators not only transfer the knowledge needed by students but are also more

oriented towards learning process efforts and transforming ethical values according to

Islamic religious teachings (Asari. 2018). An educator is required to be creative to be able

to create innovative, varied, interesting, and contextual methods, and according to the level

of needs of students in the class (Syamsi, 2018). The success or failure of the process of

teaching and learning activities, whether or not learning objectives are achieved depends on

the pedagogic competencies that must be possessed by all educators. Therefore, an educator

plays a very important role in helping the learning development of students to achieve

optimal learning goals (Ngatiman & Ibrahim, 2018).

Educators are also the main factor and key determinant of successful learning and also

the successful implementation of policies, innovative efforts in education (Firmansyah &

Iman, 2019). In learning, an educator and students are two subjects who interact and

determine the quality of learning. Law No. 20 of 2003 concerning the national education

system and its functioning in developing capabilities and forming dignified national

character and civilization in order to educate the nation's life and aims to develop the

potential of students to become human beings who believe and fear God Almighty, have

noble character , healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and being a

democratic and responsible citizen, it is the duty of the government to improve the quality

of education towards a better direction (Raharja, 2018).

Learning is a learning process carried out by each individual to learn a skill in the

process of his life, but good learning must be done as well as possible with more mature

planning, as an educator certainly has skills that can be carried out, one of which is by

choosing a model, strategy, appropriate learning methods or media to be applied to students.

The learning method is a way that has been prepared and used by educators in implementing

the plans they make so that learning objectives can be achieved. Educators play a role in

determining the right method to use when learning activities will affect the sustainability of

a teaching and learning process (Rohani, 2021). Conventional learning methods make

students' learning interest less than optimal because they feel bored with learning. The

inaccuracy of the method certainly cannot support learning. Therefore, it is necessary to use

various learning methods or ways of teaching which can later attract the enthusiasm of

students and create a pleasant learning atmosphere (Adisusilo, 2012).

For Elementary School Education, educators must be more creative in determining the

models, methods, and media used to make learning fun. The accuracy of an educator in

choosing and using effective learning methods will produce the desired learning objectives,

AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

Vol. 14 No 2 Tahun 2023

813

and the inaccuracy of educators in selecting and using effective learning methods can lead

to failure in achieving learning objectives that are in accordance with what is desired

(Yudasmara and Desi Purnami. 2015 ) . Every teacher must have the ability to make learning

more interesting by developing their creativity so that students can receive good learning

and obtain optimal learning outcomes, especially in science subjects which are one of the

subjects taught at all levels of education starting from the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah level up to a

higher level of education. One interesting learning method is cooperative learning, in which

students study together as a team in completing group assignments to achieve common goals.

Cooperative has many methods, one of which is the gallery walk method . The use of

methods in learning alone is not enough, innovation is needed to stimulate learning, namely

by using learning media .

Initial observations were made at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in Kampung

Bharu Malaysia, it turned out that the teachers had implemented learning methods that

involved students' activeness. The students were very cheerful and enthusiastic when

learning in class, they were very enthusiastic about answering and asking the teacher not a

single student was moody or sleeping during the teaching and learning process in class. This

is in accordance with the purpose of applying the gallery walk method, which is to attract

students to the topic to be studied. Provide opportunities for students to show their

knowledge and beliefs about the topics to be discussed and invite students to discover things

that are deeper than the knowledge they have, especially in science subjects. It can be seen

that the children's development has increased, seen by the children's ability to answer the

questions given by the teacher. They get scores above the average. Not only that, with the

walk gallery learning method, students are more creative when working on questions and

also homework. Apart from being able to do the questions, they are also creative by making

attractive pictures and colors that match the questions given. They don't focus only on the

question, they also decorate the answer sheet for the question.

Based on the results of interviews conducted with science study teachers, it shows that

science learning in the classroom by students is included in the optimal learning achievement

category. appointed to ask questions or be given questions willing to ask and answer

questions given, students enjoy learning and discussing with the teacher. This condition is

due to the good interaction between the teacher and students in the class, learning is not

dominated by teacher activities as the main source of knowledge which is guided by

textbooks only, but is active due to the teacher's creativity and skills in choosing and using

learning methods.

namely how to determine informants who have been determined deliberately according to

predetermined criteria. Researchers will record, record, and observe the behavior of these

informants. The informants in this study were teaching staff at the Muhammadiyah

Kampung Bharu Malaysia Guidance Studio . The types and sources of data are in the form

of Primary data and Secondary data (Moleong 2018) . Primary data was obtained directly

through interviews from research informants, namely school principals, education staff and

students of the Muhammadiyah Kampung Bharu Malaysia Learning Studio. Secondary data

is research supporting data such as documents, activity results reports, through the words

and actions of research informants and the subjects studied which are related to Gallery Walk

Cooperative Learning in Improving Student Science Learning Outcomes . Data collection

techniques in this study are through observation, interviews, and documentation (Luthfiyah

2020) .

The interview technique in this study used a structured interview technique, in which

the researcher determined the problems and questions to be asked, in other words, the

researcher already knew that the information would be obtained and had written down the

questions in the interview guide. Documentation studies are carried out by studying

documents related to research problems including relevant books (Gunawan 2013) .

Documentation is extracting information by utilizing, notes, archives, pictures, videos,

815

photos and other documents, in the documentation the researcher must be able to understand

the meaning implied in the document carefully and thoroughly. Furthermore, the data that

has been collected will be tested for validity using the source triangulation technique in order

to check and compare the degree of trustworthiness of the information obtained from

informants who have been interviewed and those observed by researchers in the field. Then,

the researcher carried out data reduction in the selection process, centralization and

simplification of raw data that emerged from field notes. Furthermore, the researcher

presents the data using narrative text that can be understood by the reader. Finally, the

researcher verifies and draws conclusions from the results of the study (Fadli 2021) .

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The researcher made observations at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in

Kampung Bharu Malaysia, while the observations made during the study were direct

observations, namely observations by asking the science teacher when the lesson was over.

Observations were made at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in Kampung Bharu

Malaysia. Observations were made to the science teacher, he said that the Gallery Walk

method was one of the appropriate methods to be used in classroom learning so that students

could foster a sense of togetherness and creativity. There are several things done by science

teachers in implementing the Gallery Walk Cooperative Learning Method in Improving

Student Science Learning Outcomes at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Studio Kampung

Bharu Malaysia, which include the following:

1. Planning

Planning carried out by science subject teachers using the Gallery Walk method at

the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in Kampung Bharu Malaysia is to make plans in

science material then the next planning step is to determine the method the teacher wants to

use, namely by using the Gallery Walk method, after that the next planning namely

informing the media and materials that need to be prepared as well as telling the steps to be

carried out for the next meeting at the science subject meeting the teacher explains the group

assignments for the next meeting. Students are divided into several groups and each group

is given the task of preparing the tools and materials ordered.

From the analysis that the authors found from observations made that science

teachers apply planning before carrying out science learning using the Gallery Walk method

for students at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Studio Kampung Bharu Malaysia. The

AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

Vol. 14 No 2 Tahun 2023

816

following is the result of an analysis of the Gallery Walk method planning in science learning

at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Studio Kampung Bharu Malaysia :

a) Make lesson plans

Science subject teachers make plans in science learning by starting to make lesson

plans, this is done because they want to make it easier to plan what will be done in

the future and to make it easy to share material in each lesson that will be carried out.

At the time of observation the teacher made a plan in science material regarding the

concept of protecting the environment

b) Determine the learning method then the next planning step is to determine the method

the teacher wants to use, namely by using the Gallery Walk method.

c) Determine media and materials

After determining the method in learning, the next thing the teacher does is inform

the media and materials that need to be prepared and tell the steps to be carried out

for the next meeting at the science subject meeting, the teacher explains the group

assignments for the next meeting. Students are divided into several groups and each

group is given the task of preparing the tools and materials ordered.

2. Implementation

The implementation of the Gallery Walk method in the Muhammadiyah Guidance

Center in Kampung Bharu Malaysia according to observations is that of the teacher after

ordering each group to prepare HVS or Plano paper, markers and decorations. Then each

group distributed materials. One group gets one piece of material. After each group has

received material, the group must write a summary of the material onto HVS or plano paper

by providing the best possible decoration, they do the group's assignments not at school but

at home, this is done because if they do assignments like that at school they can there won't

be enough time. After they finished working on the group assignment, then the results of the

assignment were brought to school when science lessons were carried out. The next thing to

do is to explain the results of the summary that has been done to other groups. After finishing

explaining, other groups may ask or refute opinions regarding the explanation from the group

that has presented.

Analysis of the application of the Gallery Walk method at the Muhammadiyah

Guidance Center Kampung Bharu Malaysia, the author provides an analysis carried out by

the teacher on the application of the Gallery Walk method carried out in science learning,

including:

AoEJ: Academy of Education Journal

817

a) Split Groups

The teacher divides into groups to work on science subject assignments, each group

consists of 5 people. There are a total of 6 groups in class that will be given

assignments with different materials. in determining the group he divides based on

calculations 1 to 5, then arranges the seats based on the order of the group so that in

the learning process there is no need to use a projector or other media.

b) Provide materials and assignments to students

For the provision of material and assignments, he gives each task and different

material, this is done so that students and students become critical and active and

courageous in expressing their opinions and thoughts about the material during

learning at school and can hone their social skills by how to work with friends in

groups. Materials and opinions expressed by students will be easily accepted by other

students without confusing students, because the concept of fiqh material and

worship in Islam includes several chapters, so it is necessary to use the Gallery Walk

method. This learning will be very lively because almost all students take part in

learning activities, this is because each group member is required to be able to

understand the material that has been given so that when other groups ask questions

all members can answer correctly and maximally.

c) Prepare learning materials

The teacher instructs each group to prepare HVS or Plano paper, markers and

decorations. Then they are given the task of working on it together with their group.

So during the learning process students use textbooks and students' personal

experiences as learning materials.

d) Doing group assignment

After all the tools and materials are ready, the group must write a summary of the

material onto HVS or plano paper by providing the best decoration possible, they do

the group's assignments not at school but at home, this is done because when doing

tasks like that at school may not be enough time. After they finished working on the

group assignment, then the results of the assignment were brought to school when

science lessons were carried out. The next thing to do is to explain the results of the

summary that has been done to other groups. After finishing explaining, other groups

may ask or refute opinions regarding the explanation from the group that has

presented. The last thing to do in the implementation of the Gallery Walk method

activity is to try to conclude together the material that has been studied that day. After

doing science lessons using the Gallery Walk method, he also evaluated his learning

activities. This can be seen in the Evaluation Analysis of the Gallery Walk method

at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in Kampung Bharu Malaysia

3. Evaluation

In the evaluation of the Gallery Walk method at the Muhammadiyah Guidance

Center Kampung Bharu Malaysia, the teacher provides an evaluation of the learning that is

carried out by observing students in terms of preparing the material that has been given, how

to work on how to present one by one and assessing the students so that he can find out how

the effectiveness of the Gallery Walk method applied to students at the Muhammadiyah

Kampung Bharu Malaysia Guidance Center.

Evaluation of the Gallery Walk Method at the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in

Kampung Bharu Malaysia. The use of the Gallery Walk method in science subjects is very

appropriate because in science materials there are many learning skills that students can have

so that students are more creative and independent in accepting the subject matter.

Particularly in the Muhammadiyah Guidance Center in Kampung Bharu Malaysia which has

implemented the Gallery Walk method by observing from the start planning, implementing,

and the results of the ongoing learning, namely by several things, namely:

a) Planning a. The teacher prepares learning devices regarding the material to be

delivered. b. The teacher opens the lesson interestingly and not monotonously so that

it gets the attention of students. c. The teacher prepares and fosters motivation to

always study hard.

b) Application a. Because this is the teacher's first meeting in class so there is no

material to be reviewed. However, the teacher provides a stimulus to students on the

material to be delivered b. The teacher provides a stimulus in the form of

questions related to the material. In addition, the teacher gives examples of students'

experiences to be used as material related to the material. c. The teacher conveys the

material clearly so that students can do what the teacher assigns properly and

correctly. d. Teachers don't just sit at the teacher's desk. However, the teacher goes

around to ensure that students are listening to what is being said. Especially during

group discussions, the teacher monitors each group in carrying out their assignments.

c) Evaluate. The teacher provides verbal reinforcement at the end of the lesson. In

addition to reinforcement from the teacher, students are also obliged to conclude and

provide reinforcement about what they have learned. c. The teacher always gives

feedback when students have finished doing something, such as giving applause d.

The teacher closes the lesson by concluding and praying. After all the groups have

finished expressing their opinions the teacher will give a very good response to all

student activities in terms of preparing the material that has been given, then how to

work on how to present one by one from the participants and assess the students so

that he can find out how effective the method is. Gallery Walk which is implemented

for students at the Muhammadiyah Kampung Bharu Malaysia Guidance Workshop.

CONCLUSION

Based on the results and discussion above, the planning of the Gallery Walk method

in learning science is going well, this is in accordance with the plan that has been designed

by the teacher. The application of the Gallery Walk method is going well, this is evidenced

by the smooth science learning activities carried out in class. And the evaluation of the

application of the Gallery Walk method in learning science has gone smoothly because it is
