Analysis Of Science Learning Problems In Class V At SDS Attaufiq

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the learning problems of Natural Sciences (IPA) in grade V at Attufiq Private Elementary School, Medan City. The research method used is qualitative descriptive. The data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to 20 students in grade V. The results of the analysis showed that most of the students faced a moderate level of problems (51% - 74%) in science learning. Problems include low student interest in monotonous science learning, lack of adequate learning facilities, and mastery of material and teacher skills that are not optimal. The proposed solution is to create a learning situation that invites students to actively participate, using interesting learning media, and applying practicum or experiments in learning. In addition, it is recommended for schools to provide facilities as a science learning medium. This study presents the results of an analysis of various factors that affect the science learning process in grade V of SD Attaufiq, including teaching methods, the use of relevant learning resources, teachers' skills in delivering materials, and support from the school and students' parents. The analysis shows that most students like practicum and experiments in science learning, but the lack of learning media facilities is an obstacle in presenting interesting learning variations. In addition, teachers' mastery of the material and learning approaches also need to be improved to create effective science learning.
