Abstract

Learning science in elementary school are learning that should be understood students to
understand the various problems that occurred in the neighborhood. The subjects were fourth
grade students of Karangtowo elementary school Karangtengah District of Demak district by the
number of students 27 students. Issues to be discussed include how to improve learning
achievement and behavioral changes after making science learning material structure and
function of plant parts in the fourth grade students of Karangtowo elementary school
Karangtengah District of Demak district after learning method STAD with the application
learning CD. This study uses classroom action research design with two cycles. Each cycle
consists of action planning, action, observation, and reflection. Before taking action done prior
learning pre-cycle ago, which is used as the basis for corrective actions implemented.
Results of preliminary tests prior to the act of research, namely in pre-cycle average value
obtained at 66.30. Because the value obtained student in materials science learning structure and
function of plant parts are still considered very poor, so it needs to be implemented corrective
action learning cycle I. In the first cycle the average value obtained for class 78.89. Values are
achieved by students in the first cycle have been increased quite dramatically, but the value
achieved is still quite a lot that has not reached the minimum standards in the standar value is
73.00. In addition, the participation of students is not yet active. There are still a lot of quite a lot
of students are shy in presenting their opinions and ask questions. However, participation of
students in the first cycle is much better than before the implementation of the action. Based on the
results achieved, it is necessary to repair the holding of the second cycle. In the second cycle of
the value achieved by students has increased very significantly by an increase of 86.30.
Participant enthusiasm of the students and of students in the second cycle is much better. There
have been many students who dared to ask and answer various matters relating to the learning
science material structure and function of the plant.
