Berdasarkan wawancara dengan guru geografi di SMA Negeri 2 Binjai Ibu Dartina
Ginting, S. Pd. Ada beberapa alasan dilakukannya penelitian ini. Pertama dari daftar
kumpulan nilai terlihat pencapaian hasil belajar siswa kurang memuaskan karena hampir 65%
siswa hanya mampu mencapai nilai rata-rata 65, sementara standar kelulusan belajar yang
ditetapkan oleh pihak sekolah harus mencapai 70.
Kedua, setelah melakukan observasi terlihat dalam pembelajaran peserta didik kurang
aktif dalam menerima materi pelajaran, karena pendekatan pembelajaran geografi yang
diterapkan oleh guru masih bersifat konvensional atau berpusat pada guru (teacher centered),
dan hanya menggunakan metode ceramah sehingga guru menjadi faktor yang sangat dominan
dalam proses pembelajaran akibatnya siswa merasa bosan, malas ketika disuruh mencatat
atau meringkas materi yang sudah dijelaskan dan kurang berminat dalam mengikuti
pembelajaran.

Based on interviews with a geography teacher at Public High School 2 of Binjai,

Dartina Ginting, S. Pd. It transpired that there were several reasons for doing this research.
First, from a list of set values appears that the achievement of the learning outcomes of
students are less satisfactory because nearly 65% of students are only able to achieve an
average score of 65, while learning graduation standards set by the school should reach 70.
Second, after observing it is known that in learning, learners are less active in
receiving the subject matter, because of the geography learning approach applied by the
teacher is still conventional or centered on the teacher, and only use the lecture method so
that the teacher becomes a very dominant factor in the learning process that resulted in
students feel bored, lazy when told to take notes or summarize the material already described
and lack of interest in participating in learning.
