Berdasarkan observasi di kelas VII D, peneliti menemukan masalah bahwa dalam pembelajaran IPA, siswa tidak aktif dalam kegiatan visual yaitu melakukan instruksi dari peneliti seperti membaca buku, kegiatan oral seperti mengemukakan pendapat pada saat peneliti memberikan pertanyaan, kegiatan mendengarkan seperti mendengarkan dan memperhatikan pada saat guru menjelaskan, dan kegiatan mental seperti merespon atau menanggapi pada saat peneliti memberikan pertanyaan. Dalam mengatasi masalah tersebut, peneliti memutuskan untuk menggunakan model pembelajaran Talking Stick. Peneliti berharap melalui penerapan model pembelajaran Talking Stick dapat meningkatkan keaktifan belajar siswa dan menjelaskan langkah-langkah penerapan model pembelajaran Talking Stick. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) model Kemmis dan McTaggart pada tanggal 13 September, 20 September, 18 Oktober, dan 01 November 2016 dengan subjek 21 siswa. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen lembar observasi keaktifan siswa, lembar observasi penerapan model pembelajaran Talking Stick, jurnal refleksi, dan lembar angket siswa. Berdasarkan analisis data dari berbagai instrumen tersebut didapatkan bahwa keaktifan belajar siswa meningkat melalui penerapan model pembelajaran Talking Stick yaitu melalui tahap penjelasan materi, tahap membaca materi, tahap pemberian tongkat dan menjawab pertanyaan serta mengemukakan pendapat, dan tahap akhir yaitu refleksi siswa dan kesimpulan dari guru, dengan memperhatikan manajemen kelas. / Based on observations in grade VII, researcher found the problem that in the science lesson, students are not active in visual activity that is doing the instruction of researcher such as reading books, activities such oral expression when the researcher gave the question, of listening such as listening and pay attention when researcher explained, and mental activities such as responding when the researcher gave the question. In addressing this problem, researcher decided to use a learning model Talking Stick. Researcher hope that through the implementation of learning models Talking Stick can enhance students' learning activeness and explain the implementation steps of the learning model Talking Stick. This research uses a Class Action Research (CAR) model Kemmis and McTaggart on September 13, September 20, October 18 and November 1, 2016 with the subject 21 students. Data collection is being done by using observation sheet instrumen student activity, observation sheet learning model implementation Talking Stick, journal reflections, and student questionnaire sheet. Based on an analysis of data from a variety of such instruments was found that the students' learning activeness increased through the implementation of learning model Talking Stick is through the step of material explanation, the stage of reading material, the stage of gave a stick and answer questions and express opinions, and the final stage is a reflection of students and the conclusion by teacher, with attention to classroom management.
