Abstract

The low motivation to learn in class IV students in primary schools is a problem that is quite heavy felt by the teachers who teach in class. That's because children in grade 1 in primary school still don't know the learning objectives that are in school. This is supported by the learning system provided by the teacher, which is still largely unattractive, which causes students to be less enthusiastic in following the lessons. This research was conducted with the aim of increasing the motivation to learn elementary school students in class I by using media images. The research method used is Action research. The results showed that the use of image media in the activities of the teacher in the first cycle was 75.11% while in the second cycle was 86.81%. These results indicate that an increase in teacher activity in an effort to increase student motivation and student activity. On the results of student learning motivation there was an increase from cycle I obtained 72.15% to 85.24% in the second cycle. This means an increase in the average motivation of students to increase by 16.89%. From the results of this study it can be concluded that the application of learning using picture media can increase student motivation in Social Sciences in Primary Schools.
