Abstract

This study aimed to improve students’ mastery of new Indonesian vocabulary through the implementation of the Make a Match learning model assisted by word card media among fourth-grade students at SDN Gebang 01 Bangkalan, Madura. The study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 17 students. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, and achievement tests. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ learning activities, increasing from 69.2% in Cycle I to 92.0% in Cycle II. Students’ learning outcomes also improved, with the average score increasing from 55% in the pre-research stage to 68.2% in Cycle I and 93.5% in Cycle II. Learning mastery increased substantially from 17.6% to 94.1%. In addition, students demonstrated more positive responses toward the learning process after the implementation of the learning model. These findings indicate that the Make a Match learning model assisted by word card media is effective in improving students’ mastery of new Indonesian vocabulary. Nevertheless, this study was limited by the relatively small number of participants and its implementation in only one class at a single school. Therefore, future studies are recommended to involve larger samples and examine the application of this learning model across different subjects and educational levels to strengthen the generalizability of the findings.
