<![CDATA[Self-confidence is an important part of a person's personality development. With self-confidence, students will be able to evaluate their overall selves, which gives a strong belief in their abilities to take actions in achieving their desires. However, the self-confidence of fourth-grade students in SD Al-Hidayah Majalengka is still relatively low. One effort that can be used to increase students' self-confidence is the application of the reward method in the learning process. Based on the background, the problem formulation in this study is: how is the application of rewards to students? How is the self-confidence of the students? And does the application of the reward method improve the self-confidence of students in class IV C of Al-Hidayah Elementary School in Majalengka? This research aims to know the application of the reward method, to understand the students' self-confidence, and to assess whether the application of the reward method can enhance the self-confidence of students in class IV C at Al-Hidayah Elementary School, Majalengka.

In Cycle I, the overall average teacher activity reached 76% with a fair category. Then in Cycle II, the overall average teacher activity increased to 81% with a good category. The observations of student activities indicate that overall, the results of the five student activities in Cycle I reached an average of 61% with a poor category.
