The subjects were teachers and 23 fifth-grade students at an elementary school in the Kebumen district. The data collection methods were observation, interviews, and tests. Data analysis techniques used quantitative and descriptive qualitative analysis. The results indicate that implementing Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) applying multimedia improves student social science learning outcomes since it obtains 73.91% in the first cycle, 80.43% in the second cycle, and 86.96% in the third cycle. The students are active in group discussions and question and answer.
