Enhancing Social Studies Learning Outcomes through Interactive Ice Breaking and Peer Teaching Strategies in Junior High School

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Social Studies (IPS) class IX-E at SMPN 5 Pamekasan through the interactive ice breaking game method “hooray-huuu” and the “Everyone is a Teacher Here” (ETH) strategy. This study used the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method consisting of two cycles, each of two meetings. The research subjects were 29 students. In cycle I, the student learning completeness rate reached 52%, while in cycle II it increased to 92%. This increase showed that the use of interactive game method and ETH strategy was effective in improving students' learning outcomes and motivation. The results recommend this method to create a more fun and participatory learning atmosphere, which allows students to be more active and understand the subject matter well.
