Abstract

This study aims to analyze students' learning interest in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) learning in terms of learning methods and learning media in grade IV of SD Negeri 1 Bangbang in 2026. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with research subjects consisting of a grade IV teacher and 12 grade IV students of SD Negeri 1 Bangbang. Research data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Observations of student learning interest were conducted using an observation sheet that included indicators of students' feelings of enjoyment, attention, and involvement in learning. The results showed that students' learning interest was generally in the fairly good category. The results of observations of 12 students showed the percentage of learning interest in the range of 72% to 85%. Students showed feelings of enjoyment towards IPAS learning, were able to pay attention to the teacher's explanation, and began to be actively involved in learning activities. However, some students still had difficulty maintaining attention due to distractions from the classroom environment and peers. In implementing learning, teachers have used quite varied methods, namely interactive lectures, questions and answers, discussions, demonstrations, and simple practices. The learning media used included textbooks, pictures, videos, concrete objects, LKPD, and digital media. The use of varied methods and media appropriate to the material's characteristics provides a more engaging learning experience and helps students understand the science and science material. Thus, learning methods and media are interconnected in supporting the development of student learning interest. Optimizing method variation, utilizing concrete and digital media, and creating a conducive classroom atmosphere are necessary to optimally enhance student learning interest.
