The average value of student learning outcomes was 68 with a classical completion of 60%, which had not yet reached the 80% success indicator. Based on the reflection of Cycle I, corrective actions were carried out in Cycle II. As a result, student activity increased to "Very Good" (88%) and teacher activity also reached "Very Good" (90%). This improvement had a positive impact on learning outcomes, with the average class value increasing to 82 and classical completion reaching 95%, which had exceeded the success indicator.
