In the 21st century, education is required to produce students who are creative, critical, collaborative, and communicative to face the challenges of the times. Therefore, the implementation of the STEAM learning model is one innovative solution to improve the quality of learning and student outcomes, especially in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) that adopts the Kemmis and McTaggart model with two learning cycles. Each cycle consists of the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The purpose of this research is to improve student learning outcomes through the implementation of the STEAM learning model. The results showed an increase in student learning outcomes from cycle I to cycle II. In the cognitive domain, the average student score increased from 76% in cycle I to 88% in cycle II. In the psychomotor domain, there was an increase from 71% in cycle I to 91% in cycle II. Meanwhile, in the affective domain, student activities increased from 78% in cycle I to 92% in cycle II. Based on the results of the study, the implementation of the STEAM learning model can be declared effective in improving student learning outcomes in IPAS subjects for grade III students of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Al-Munawwarah, Jambi City.

This research aimed to find out whether or not the use of Short Stories can improve vocabulary mastery. The researcher used a pre-experimental one group with pretest and post-test design. The instrument used to collect data of this research is a test. The researcher used a vocabulary translating test that consisted of 10 questions and a vocabulary matching test that consisted of 10 questions. There were 20 questions for pre-test and 20 questions for post-test. The research findings show that the students' vocabulary mastery improved by using short Stories. It was shown on the mean score of pre-test 44.82 while the mean score of post-test 76.42 which means higher than pre-test The conclusion is drawn based on the results obtained from the paired-sample T-test.. The significant sig. (2-tailed) of pre-test and post-test 0.000. The sig. (2- tailed) is 0.000 < 0.05 which means the pre-test and post-test has sig < a and can be concluded that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. From these findings, there was an improvement in vocabulary mastery and it was concluded that the use of Short Stories can improve vocabulary mastery.
