Furthermore, there was a significant increase in all indicators of student participation, including activeness in asking questions, answering questions, group discussion, expressing opinions, and completing tasks on time, with an average increase of 23.4%. It was concluded that the Snowball Throwing model is an effective innovative solution to increase student participation and create a dynamic and interactive Civics learning atmosphere.
