If the average score of economic learning outcomes is entered into five categories, then the mastery category is 0-39% (low). While the results of the implementation of the second cycle showed progress that and 40 students, only 4 students (10%) had very low mastery levels, 8 students (20%) had low mastery levels, 14 students (35%) had moderate mastery levels, 9 students (22.5%) with a high level of mastery, 5 students (12.5%) with a very high level of mastery. If the average score of economic learning outcomes is put into five categories, then the mastery level is 55-74% (medium). There were 29 students (72%) who had very low mastery of economics learning outcomes in the first cycle, the second cycle was reduced to 3 students (7.5%). In the first cycle there was only 1 student (2.5%) who had a high level of mastery and in the second cycle it changed to 8 students (20%) who had a high level of mastery. In the first cycle there were no students in the very high category, however, in the second cycle there were 4 students (10%) who had a high level of mastery.
