Abstract

Communication skills and learning outcomes are two important aspects that need to be developed in biology learning. Facts in the field show that active students still experience difficulties in communicating effectively and understanding biological concepts, especially in the human reproductive system material. This condition is caused by the dominance of conventional methods and the lack of learning media that can actively engage students. This study aims to determine the effect of using Biology Uno Cards (Kaubi) media based on Team Games Tournament (TGT) on communication skills and student learning outcomes. The research method used a one-group pretest-posttest on 34 grade XI high school students. The instruments used included observation of communication skills, learning outcome tests, and response questionnaires. The results showed an increase in students' communication skills from the first to the third meeting with a good category. In addition, the average value of learning outcomes increased from 54.85 in the pretest to 85.29 in the posttest with a Normalized Gain (N-Gain) value of 0.669 (moderate category). These findings demonstrate that the use of TGT-based Kaubi media has a positive impact on student communication skills and learning outcomes. Therefore, it can be used as an innovative alternative medium in biology learning to increase student engagement and understanding.
