PERAN GURU KELAS SEBAGAI FASILITATOR BELAJAR AKTIF DI MADRASAH IBTIDAIYAH

Abstract

This study aims to describe the role of teachers as facilitators in promoting active learning in Grade III at MI Al Ma’arif 07 Singosari, Malang. Teachers play an important role not only as instructors but also as guides who help students develop critical thinking and independent learning skills. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and documentation of learning activities. The data were analyzed interactively through the stages of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that teachers face several challenges, such as differences in teaching styles, diverse student backgrounds, limited facilities and infrastructure, as well as students’ low focus and participation during learning. To overcome these challenges, teachers implement several strategies, including modifying learning activities, using engaging teaching media, applying varied methods, giving rewards or praise, and participating in professional development training. As facilitators, teachers strive to foster student independence, encourage self-directed learning, create a positive learning environment, and adapt instruction to meet the diverse needs of their students.
