<![CDATA[Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keaktifan belajar IPAS materi Sejarah Masyarakat di Lingkungan Tempat Tinggal melalui penerapan model Discovery Learning berbantuan media puzzle pada murid kelas III C SD Negeri Percobaan 4 Wates Tahun Ajaran 2025/2026. Penelitian ini merupakan Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus dengan menggunakan model Kemmis dan McTaggart yang meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah murid kelas III C SD Negeri Percobaan 4 Wates. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan meliputi observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Data keaktifan belajar dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif berdasarkan hasil observasi selama proses pembelajaran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model Discovery Learning berbantuan media puzzle dapat meningkatkan keaktifan belajar IPAS murid. Rata-rata keaktifan belajar pada siklus I sebesar 63,45% dan meningkat menjadi 88,82% pada siklus II. Peningkatan tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan model Discovery Learning berbantuan media puzzle mampu menciptakan pembelajaran yang lebih aktif, menarik, dan melibatkan murid secara langsung dalam proses menemukan pengetahuan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi terhadap pembelajaran IPAS di sekolah dasar melalui penerapan model pembelajaran dan media yang dapat mendorong keterlibatan aktif murid dalam memahami materi Sejarah Masyarakat Di Lingkungan Tempat Tinggal. This study aimed to improve students' learning activity in IPAS on the topic of the History of Communities in Their Local Environment through the implementation of the Discovery Learning model assisted by puzzle media among third-grade students at SD Negeri Percobaan 4 Wates in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles using the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of this study were third-grade students of class III C at SD Negeri Percobaan 4 Wates. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Students' learning activity data were analyzed descriptively and quantitatively based on observations conducted during the learning process. The results showed that the implementation of the Discovery Learning model assisted by puzzle media improved students' learning activity in IPAS. The average learning activity increased from 63.45% in the first cycle to 88.82% in the second cycle. This improvement indicates that the use of Discovery Learning assisted by puzzle media can create a more active and engaging learning environment and encourage students to participate directly in the process of discovering knowledge. This study contributes to IPAS learning in elementary schools by providing an alternative learning model and learning media that encourage students' active involvement in understanding the history of communities in their local environment.]]>
