Abstract

Based on preliminary data which were obtained through the observations first grade of SDN Kalibanteng Kidul 01, Semarang city was found some problems in learning processes. The less maximum of the teacher in using 8 teaching skill impact on not maximum of student activities. The lack of variety and innovation in learning processes to make the students do actvities that are inconsistent with learnin. It is an impact on students’activity and result learning. Formulation of the problem in this study were: (1) Does model of Snowball Throwinglearning can improve the teacher skill in learning processes of SDN Kalibanteng Kidul 01 Semarang city? (2) Does model  Snowball Throwing learning can improve students’ activities in learning processes of SDN Kalibanteng Kidul 01 Semarang city? (3)Does model Snowball Throwinglearning can improve learning quality of SDN Kalibanteng Kidul 01 Semarang city? The research goals of this class action are: (1) To increase the teachers’ skills by applying the model of Snowball Throwing. (2) To increase the students’ activities in learning by applying the model ofSnowball Throwing. (3) To increase learning quality by applying the model of Snowball Throwing.

This research is classroom action research using a model of Snowball Throwinglearning. It counsist of  three cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely planning, execution, observations and reflection. The subject of this research were the teachers and the students on fifth  grade of SDN Kalibanteng Kidul 01 Semarang city.
