Educators need to choose interesting strategies so that students do not feel bored and learning remains active and enjoyable. One strategy that can be applied is Crossword puzzles, which allows students to learn in a fun way without reducing the essence of learning, thereby increasing their enthusiasm and enthusiasm. This study aims to determine the application and effect of the Crossword puzzle learning strategy on the learning outcomes of grade III students on theme 6 subtheme 1 at MI Al Hikmah Jatiasih. This study uses a quantitative approach with a Quasi Experiment design and a Non-equivalent control group design model. The research sample consisted of 70 grade III students. The results of the descriptive analysis showed that the average post-test score in the experimental class was 81.56, while in the control class it was 72.15, which showed a significant difference in results. The independent sample t-test showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.007, which was smaller than 0.05, so it can be concluded that there was a significant difference between student learning outcomes in the experimental class and the control class.

This research aims to improve English learning outcomes through the application of the Crossword puzzle strategy. Type of classroom action research (CAR). The sequence of research activities includes: (1) planning, (2) Implementation, (3) observation, (4) documentation. This classroom action research was conducted at SMP N 5 KENDARI. of class VIII, which consisted of 35 students, they were 16 male and 19 female students. And in collecting data, the researcher used observation technique, tests measuring learning outcomes. The result showed that the use of the crossword puzzle strategy in English learning can improve student learning outcomes starting to 44% in cycle 1, then the learning outcomes increased in cycle II by 96%.

This research is motivated by low student learning outcomes. In addition, during the learning process the teacher only uses the lecture method in delivering material and there are no variations in strategies or supporting learning media used by the teacher. Therefore learning in class does not involve student activity so that students tend to be less interested in learning. The purpose of this research is to find out how much influence the learning strategy hascrossword puzzle on the results of PAI learning for grade 7 students of SMP Negeri 3 Ampek Angkek. The type of research used islike an experiment with shapenon-equivalent control group design. The sample in this study consisted of 2 classes, namely class 7.1 as the experimental class and class 7.2 as the control class. Data collection in this study uses the resultspre-test andpost-test multiple choice question. The data analysis technique used is the Normality test, Wilcoxon test, Spearman Rank Correlation test, Coefficient of Determination test and Mann Whitney test. The results of calculations from the test of the coefficient of determination, the statistical results obtained are the contribution of learning strategiescrossword puzzle on PAI learning outcomes by 81.9%.
