This research aims to improve the learning outcomes of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) by applying a discovery learning model assisted by image media in grade V of SD Nurul Khoir, Jambi City. The method used is Class Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages, namely planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. The research subjects amounted to 26 students. Data collection techniques are carried out through learning outcome tests, observation of teacher and student activities, and documentation. The results of the study showed a significant increase in the completeness of student learning outcomes. In cycle I, completeness reached 73.92%, and increased to 85.30% in cycle II. This improvement shows that the application of the discovery learning model combined with image media is effective in improving IPAS learning outcomes. This model encourages active involvement of students in the learning process, fosters curiosity, and hones critical and logical thinking skills. Image media as a visual aid has also been proven to be able to strengthen concept understanding and improve students' memory of the material studied. In addition, the learning process becomes more fun and meaningful because students are directly involved in the activity of discovering concepts through the stages of observing, questioning, gathering information, reasoning, and concluding. Teachers are no longer the center of information, but play the role of learning facilitators. This strategy is also relevant to the cognitive development characteristics of elementary school students who tend to favor concrete and visual learning. Thus, the application of the discovery learning model assisted by image media can be an alternative to an effective and innovative learning strategy in improving social studies learning outcomes. Teachers are advised to continue to develop adaptive, creative, and contextual learning methods and media.

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) through the application of the Discovery Learning model assisted by image media in grade V of Nurul Khoir Elementary School, Jambi City. This study is a classroom action research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects in this study were 26 fourth-grade students. Data collection techniques used included tests, observation, and documentation to obtain more comprehensive data on student learning outcomes. The results of the study showed an increase in student learning outcomes in each cycle. In cycle I, the percentage of student learning outcomes reached 73.92%, and increased in cycle II to 85.30%. This increase indicates that the application of the Discovery Learning model assisted by image media can improve student learning outcomes in the subject of IPAS. The Discovery Learning model provides opportunities for students to learn actively and independently, by utilizing attractive image media and making it easier for students to understand the concepts taught. Thus, this model can be used as an alternative in a more effective and interesting learning process. Furthermore, the implementation of this model also had a positive impact on student engagement in learning activities, making the teaching and learning process more interactive and enjoyable. This study recommends that the Discovery Learning model, assisted by image media, be applied more widely across various subjects to improve the quality of learning in elementary schools. In the future, this research can also be continued by examining the application of similar models in other subjects and measuring their impact on improving students' cognitive abilities and overall skills.

This research began with problems in science learning in class IV of SD Inpres Koperapoka II where the majority of students had difficulty understanding science learning material, so that the learning outcomes obtained by students were low. Therefore, to improve student learning outcomes in science learning, a discovery learning model assisted by image media is used for fourth grade students at SD Inpres Koperapoka. This research is classroom action research (PTK) using a qualitative approach. This research was carried out on fourth grade students at SD Inpres Koperapoka II with a total of 24 students. The instruments used to collect data are observation sheets, documentation and learning outcomes tests. The data obtained in the research was analyzed using qualitative and quantitative data analysis. This research was carried out in two cycles and each cycle consisted of one meeting. The results of research from each cycle that has been carried out using the discovery learning learning model assisted by image media show an increase in both the learning process and student learning outcomes. This can be seen from students' achievements in learning, where in cycle I the average score obtained by students only reached 70.8% completeness with an average student score of 68.75, while in cycle II showed quite a high increase with completeness reaching 87.5% and the average student score is 82. Thus it can be concluded that the use of the discovery learning learning model assisted by image media can improve student learning outcomes in science learning in class IV of SD Koperapoka II.
