Meningkatkan Kemampuan Siswa Kelas IX B SMP Negeri 8 Muaro Jambi dalam Menentukan Iklim Matahari pada Pembelajaran Unsur Geografis di Kawasan Asia Tenggara dengan Menggunakan Media Gambar Globe
There are still many students who do not know how to determine the climate of a country based on its astronomical location. For this reason, the author tries to try to overcome this problem by conducting a Classroom Action research at Muaro Jambi State Middle 8 where the author is on duty. As for the formulation of the problem is whether using globe picture media can improve the ability of class IX B students of Muaro Jambi Middle School 8 in determining the sun's climate in learning geographical elements in the Southeast Asian region? This study aims to improve the ability of class IX B students of Muaro Jambi Middle School 8 in determining the climate of the sun's climate. This research was conducted in three cycles. Each cycle, students are taught how to determine the climate using a globe. The subject matter set for research is the geographical element in the Southeast Asia region. Before doing research, students' ability to determine climate based on their astronomical location obtained 80.77% of students unable to determine the climate. After doing the research, in the first cycle, which was held in two meetings, 61.54% of students were able to determine the climate. Then in the second cycle, the results of 76.92% of students were able to determine the climate and in the third cycle the results were 88.46% of students able to determine the climate of a country. There was a significant increase in students' abilities. Thus the use of globe image media can be used as an alternative to overcome students' difficulties in determining the climate.
