Abstract

Interesting learning media that suits the characteristics of elementary school students is crucial for improving their learning outcomes. One method that can be used is by utilizing concrete objects. This type of learning media utilizes real objects found around students, such as metal spoons, candles, glass cups, and hot water. These objects are used as examples in explaining material about heat transfer. Using this media helps students understand concepts more clearly, more meaningfully, and more easily. This study aims to study how to use real objects to help students achieve better learning outcomes at SDN 1 Keusik. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with research subjects being elementary school students. Data collection techniques were carried out by observing the teaching and learning process, conducting tests to determine the level of student understanding, and collecting various relevant documents. Data analysis was carried out by comparing student learning outcomes before and after using concrete objects. The study shows that student learning progress increased after using concrete objects as learning media. In addition, students became more enthusiastic, active, and more easily understood the concept of heat transfer. Based on these results, it can be concluded that using concrete objects as an alternative learning media is effective in improving the understanding and learning achievements of students at the elementary school level.
