Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the Talking Stick learning model on the learning activeness of eighth-grade students in Christian Religious Education and Character at SMP Negeri 3 Siborongborong during the 2025/2026 Academic Year. The research hypothesis posits: "There is a positive and significant effect of the Talking Stick learning model on the learning activeness of eighth-grade students in Christian Religious Education and Character at SMP Negeri 3 Siborongborong during the 2025/2026 Academic Year." The population comprises all eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Siborongborong in the 2025/2026 Academic Year, totaling 102 students. The sample for the study was determined using a purposive sampling technique, where Class VIII C served as the experimental group and Class VIII D as the control group. This study employed a quantitative research method, specifically a Quasi-Experimental Design with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The research instrument was a questionnaire consisting of 28 items. The questionnaire data were analyzed using the formula for the difference in means (N-Gain Score). The average N-Gain score for the experimental class was found to be 0.7395, which falls into the high category. The average N-Gain score for the control class was 0.1862, which falls into the low category. Subsequently, an independent samples t-test was conducted, yielding a calculated t-value (tcount) of 12.481, which is greater than the critical t-value (ttable) of 2.000 (at α=0.05 with df=58). Therefore, it is concluded that the research hypothesis (Ha) is accepted—meaning there is a positive and significant effect of the Talking Stick learning model on the learning activeness of eighth-grade students in Christian Religious Education and Character at SMP Negeri 3 Siborongborong during the 2025/2026 Academic Year—and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected.
