IPAS is a subject that must be given to elementary school students. However, several studies show that elementary school students' learning outcomes in IPAS subjects are still low. This research aims to determine the effect of implementing the contextual teaching and learning model on IPAS. This research was carried out at SDN Pakis V in the 2024 academic year with a sample of class VC students. SDN Pakis V as many as 30 children. Data collection in this research used test techniques with questions in the form of descriptions. From this research, it was found that student learning results showed improvement after learning using the contextual teaching and learning model, with an average pre-test result of 70.86 while the post-test result was 85.56. The results of hypothesis testing with the t-test also show that there is a difference in the average test results before and after implementing the contextual teaching and learning model. With these results, the conclusion of this research is that the Contextual Teaching and Learning Model can improve students' IPAS outcomes in Class V at SDN Pakis V.

Students often have difficulty understanding the concepts of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS), especially at the elementary school level. This difficulty is caused by the lack of variety of learning methods that are capable and attract students to actively participate in learning activities. The aim of this research is to determine the improvement in learning outcomes of class IV C students in the elastic movement material in science and science lessons. This research applies the Project Based Learning (PjBL) learning model which uses Mystery Box media. This research uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) method which consists of two cycles. The instruments used include pretest and posttest as well as observation sheets. The data was analyzed descriptively quantitatively to measure the increase in learning outcomes from one cycle to the next. The research results show that implementing PjBL with Mystery Box media improves student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, there was significant improvement, although some students had not reached the target. In the second cycle, learning outcomes continued to improve, with the majority of students reaching or exceeding the KKM. The percentage obtained from the pretest and posttest results was from 56.73% to 74.62%.
