Peningkatan Kompetensi Pedagogik Guru SD Melalui Workshop Pembelajaran Aktif Dan Menyenangkan

Abstract

Pedagogical competence is a crucial attribute for teachers, as it encompasses the ability to understand student characteristics, design instruction, conduct the teaching-learning process, and perform evaluations. However, preliminary assessments at the partner school revealed that instruction still largely relied on conventional methods, such as lectures, independent written assignments, and one-way question-and-answer sessions. This Community Service (PkM) initiative aimed to enhance the pedagogical competence of elementary school teachers through a workshop focused on active and enjoyable learning. The activity employed a participatory and applied approach, comprising stages of preparation, a conceptual workshop, training on developing instructional materials, teaching simulations, reflection, evaluation, and follow-up. Eight teachers—comprising both classroom and subject-specific teachers—participated in the program. Evaluation was conducted using pre- and post-tests, observations of teaching practice, and assessments of the developed instructional materials. The results showed that the average score rose from 55.17 in the pre-test to 85.17 in the post-test, representing a 54.38% increase. The most significant improvement was observed in the mastery of active learning models and strategies, where scores rose from 52.0 to 85.5—a 64.4% increase. Furthermore, all participants successfully developed instructional materials that integrated at least two active learning components. These findings demonstrate that a workshop combining content delivery, practical application, simulation, and reflection is effective in improving teachers' pedagogical understanding and skills. Program sustainability is supported through the classroom implementation of the developed materials, ongoing mentoring, and the strengthening of the teachers' learning community.
