Based on observation data, it can be seen that science learning in elementary schools still does not improve student learning outcomes. This is because the learning is still teacher-centered or learning that is centered on the teacher (the teacher is active while the students are passive) and the use of learning media is still lacking. This can cause the impression of boring learning and can result in low student motivation which has an impact on student learning outcomes in learning. Therefore, a study was conducted on the use of role-playing tools in improving science learning outcomes about the motion of objects and energy. The purpose of this study was to improve science learning outcomes about the motion of objects and energy by using teaching aids. This study used classroom action research (CAR). The research subjects were grade III students of SD Negeri 06 Dobo, Aru Islands Regency, Maluku. The results of the study showed that the use of role-playing tools can increase (1) student activity in learning, (2) increase teacher activity, (3) Improve student learning outcomes in science learning about the motion of objects and energy. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the use of teaching aids can improve student learning outcomes in science learning about the motion of objects and energy. Suggestions that can be given in this study are that student learning outcomes can be improved through other learning methods and media.

This study aims to analyze the learning difficulties experienced by fifth-grade students at Yayasan Al-Hidayah and identify innovative solutions in the learning process. The research uses a descriptive quantitative method with data collected through questionnaires. The results indicate that students still face challenges in understanding the material, primarily due to the fast pace of the teacher's explanations, a lack of supporting media and teaching aids, and limited learning facilities. The most difficult subjects for students to understand are Mathematics, followed by English and Science. Despite these challenges, parental involvement in supporting the learning process is relatively good, and students tend to prefer interactive learning, such as educational games, group discussions, experiments, and the use of digital media. Based on these findings, there is a need for innovation in learning, focusing on technology-based learning, the use of more varied teaching aids, and the application of creative strategies to enhance motivation, understanding, and student learning outcomes. Such innovations are expected to provide more engaging and effective learning experiences for students, addressing the difficulties they encounter in learning.

The low learning outcomes of class IV students at SD Muhammadiyah Sijabut are due to the lack of direct student involvement in the learning process. To overcome this problem, classroom action research (PTK) was carried out using science teaching aids. The aim of this research is to improve student learning outcomes by using class IV science teaching aids at SD Muhammadiyah Sijabut. The research subjects were 22 students, the research data sources were obtained from qualitative data in the form of data from observations of teacher and student activities as well as quantitative data in the form of test data on student learning outcomes. The results of the first cycle of research showed that 8 students out of 22 students completed individually with classical completeness of 36% and classical absorption of 63%. Meanwhile, the results of the second cycle of research experienced an increase with the number of students completing individually as many as 18 students out of 22 students who took part in learning with a classical completion percentage of 82% with a classical absorption capacity of 85%. Based on the results of this research, learning using science teaching aids can improve the learning outcomes of class IV students at SD Muhammadiyah Sijabut.
