<![CDATA[This research was motivated by the low science learning outcomes of Grade IV students at SDN 03 Simpang Haru, Padang City. The study aimed to determine the influence of using animated video media on the science learning outcomes of Grade IV students at the school. A quasi-experimental method was employed, specifically a posttest-only control group design. The study population and sample consisted of all Grade IV students at SDN 03 Simpang Haru (53 students), selected using the saturated sampling technique. Class IVA (27 students) was designated as the control group, while Class IVB (26 students) served as the experimental group and received instruction using animated videos. Data were collected through a learning outcome test consisting of 24 multiple-choice questions. Prior to use, the research instrument underwent item quality analysis, including tests for validity, reliability, discrimination power, and difficulty level. Descriptive statistical analysis showed that the average learning outcome for the experimental group was 79.62, whereas the average for the control group was 72.96. Hypothesis testing using the t-test revealed a calculated t-value of 2.063, which exceeded the t-table value of 1.675 at a 5% significance level. Consequently, the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. These findings indicate that the use of animated video media has a significant influence on the science learning outcomes of Grade IV students at SDN 03 Simpang Haru, Padang City.]]>
