Abstract
This study aims to improve student learning autcomes by implementing the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach. The subjects of the study were 36 students from class X.8 at SMAN 1 Mataram, located in Mataram City. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method conducted over two cycles. Each cycle included the stages of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The result showed a significant improvement in student learning outcomes from the pre-cycle to cycle I and cycle II. In the pre-cycle, only 58,33% of the students met the mastery criteria, with an average score of 78,47. After applying the TaRL approach in cycle I, the mastery percentage increased to 69,44, with an average score of 80,30. In cycle II, the mastery reached 91,66%, with an average score of 84,55. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the implementation of the TaRL approach is effective in improving students’ mathematics learning outcomes.
