In essence, teaching and learning activities are a process of
Approved:
interaction or reciprocity between teachers and students in the
learning unit. Improving science learning achievement about
various forms of objects in fourth grade students at SD Negeri
Pondok Kacang Timur 03 Semester 1 of 2015/2016 through the
experimental method. This research uses Classroom Action
Research (CAR). Based on the results of the discussion of data
analysis that has been carried out in cycle I and cycle II in this
study, it can be concluded as follows: The use of experimental
methods can improve student learning outcomes in science
subjects subject to various forms of objects in class IV semester I
SDN Negeri Pondok Kacang Timur 03 academic year
2015/2016, this is indicated by an increase in learning outcomes,
namely the learning process before the action shows low
learning outcomes, namely students whose scores meet the KKM
as many as 13 students or 37%, students who have not completed
21 students or 61% with the highest score of 90 and the lowest
score was 40. In the first cycle the number of students who
completed 21 students or 61% while those who had not
completed 13 students or 39%. The minimum score is 50 and the
maximum value is 90. In the second cycle there was an increase
in learning outcomes, namely the number of students'
completeness was 32 students or 94%. The minimum score is 70
and the maximum value is 100. There is an increase in the
average score, namely 65 in the pre-cycle to 73 in the first cycle
and increasing to 85 in the second cycle. Thus it can be
concluded that using the experimental method can improve
student learning outcomes in science subjects on the subject of
various forms of objects in class IV semester I SDN Negeri
Pondok Kacang Timur 03 academic year 2015/2016 can
improve learning outcomes.

Introduction
The teacher as one component in the teaching and learning process is a very
important role holder (Idzhar, 2016). The teacher is not just a transmitter of material, but
more than that, the teacher can be said to be the center of learning (Kistian, 2018).
As a regulator and actor in the teaching and learning process (Rijadi, 2015), it is
the teacher who directs how the teaching and learning process is carried out (Suprayitno,
2019). Therefore, the teacher must be able to make teaching more effective (Fakhrurrazi,
2018) and interesting so that the lesson material delivered will make students feel happy

(Pambudi, Efendi, Novianti, Novitasari, & Ngazizah, 2018) and feel the need to learn the
lesson material (Sulfemi, 2019).
Teachers have a difficult task to achieve the goals of national education (Saat,
2015), namely improving the quality of Indonesian people (Miharja, 2016), whole people
who believe and fear God Almighty (Asmaroini, 2016), have noble character, have
personality, are disciplined, work hard, are tough, responsible, independent, intelligent
(Wahono, 2018) and skilled and physically and mentally healthy (Prasetyo, 2013), must
also be able to grow (Sari, 2017) and deepen a sense of love for the homeland (Untari,
2018), strengthen the spirit of nationalism and a sense of social solidarity (Yunaz, 2019).
In line with that, national education will be able to realize development humans
(Suharyanto, 2013) and build themselves and are responsible for nation building. Ministry
of Education and Culture (Judiani, 2010).
The success of learning objectives is determined by many factors including the
teacher's factor in carrying out the teaching and learning process, because the teacher can
directly influence, foster and improve the intelligence and skills of students. To overcome
the problems above and to achieve the educational goals to the fullest, the teacher's role is
very important and it is hoped that the teacher has a good teaching method/model and is
able to choose the right learning model and in accordance with the concepts of the
subjects to be delivered.
The aim of the research is to increase learning achievement in science about
various forms of objects in the fourth grade students of SD Negeri Pondok Kacang Timur
03 Semester 1 of 2015/2016 through the experimental method. the benefits of research
are to improve understanding of science concepts about various forms of objects with
experimental methods, can provide additional enrichment of teaching methods with the
help of experimental methods so that learning objectives can be achieved properly, can be
used as input for information about one alternative way of learning science to students
with the use of experimental methods.
Research methods
Research place is a place used in conducting research to obtain the desired data.
This research took place in the fourth grade of Pondok Kacang Timur State Elementary
School 03 Academic Year 2015/2016. Research time is the time the research takes place
or when this research is carried out. This research was conducted in October-December
odd semester 2015/2016 academic year. The research subjects were fourth grade students
of Pondok Kacang Timur State Elementary School 03 for the 2015/2016 academic year.
This research uses Classroom Action Research (CAR).
Each cycle includes planning (plan), action (action), observation (observation), and
reflection (reflection). The steps in the next cycle are revised planning, action,
observation, and reflection. Before entering the first cycle, a preliminary action was taken
in the form of problem identification. The data collection techniques used in this study
consisted of 2 techniques, namely observation techniques and test techniques. The data
collection tools used in this study were test questions and observation sheets. The data
analysis techniques used are quantitative and qualitative.
The performance indicator in this study is considered successful if the student's
cycle value of various types of objects has reached the KKM, which is ~ 70. This
classroom action research consists of 2 cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, acting,
monitoring, and reflecting

Result And Discussion
The State Elementary School of Pondok Kacang Timur 03 State Elementary
School is led by a Principal, the teaching staff of Pondok Kacang Timur 03 State
Elementary School consists of: 1 Principal as the person in charge assisted by teaching
staff consisting of 17 class teachers, 3 Islamic religion teachers, 2 sports teachers , I
English language teacher, 4 school guards, 2 administrative staff, 1 library staff.
The study was conducted at SD Negeri Pondok Kacang Timur 03 class IV with a
total of 34 students. The research time consisted of 2 cycles, each cycle consisting of 1
meeting with an allocation of 2x35 minutes. The initial condition is the student's
condition before the classroom action research is carried out. Based on the results of
observations that have been made in class IV SD Negeri Pondok Kacang Timur 03
academic year 2015/2016 which amounted to 34 students in science learning, it can be
seen that student learning outcomes are still low. This can be seen and the value of the
evaluation results of students in science subjects that have been carried out where most of
the students obtained scores below the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) ~ 70. In
the daily test results before the research was carried out the following values were
obtained:

Based on table 2, it is clear that the comparison of students who achieved mastery
learning (KKM = 70) were 13 students (38%) while students who had not achieved
learning completeness were 21 students (62%). The highest value is 90 while the lowest
value is 40. For more details, the value data in table 2 can be made a diagram as shown in
