<![CDATA[Meaningful learning positions students as active participants who construct understanding through communication, interaction, and shared experiences. In this context, Gallery Walk provides opportunities for students to exchange ideas, respond to peers, and participate actively. However, previous studies have predominantly examined communication and participation outcomes, while the interactional processes occurring during Gallery Walk remain less explored. This study aimed to explore Gallery Walk as an interactional space and describe the forms of communication and participation demonstrated by sixth-grade students in IPAS learning on the topic “Our Earth Is in Danger.” The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach at UPT SDN 1 Sukamulya in March 2026. Data were collected through classroom observation and documentation, with sixth-grade students participating in Gallery Walk activities as the primary data source. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification. The study was guided by the proposition that Gallery Walk can provide a social-pedagogical space for students to communicate and participate through observing, responding, discussing, collaborating, presenting, and appreciating. Findings indicate that communication occurred through expressing opinions, asking and answering questions, responding to peers, and explaining ideas, while participation was demonstrated through verbal and nonverbal involvement. Gallery Walk therefore functioned not merely as a display activity but as an interactional space that encouraged idea exchange and active learning. Its effectiveness, however, depended on equitable role distribution, time management, and teacher facilitation.]]>
