This research aims to determine the effect of using PAPISIM (Simbiosis Smart Board) learning media on students' understanding of the concept of symbiosis at elementary school level. This research was carried out at Ketegan Elementary School, Tanggulangin District, Sidoarjo Regency. After conducting research at the school, it was discovered that class III students still had difficulty understanding the concept of symbiosis, even though examples were often encountered in everyday life. The method applied in this research is a quantitative method with a Pre-Experimental design of the One Group Pretest-Posttest type. The research subjects consisted of all class III students at SDN Ketegan in the 2024/2025 academic year, totaling 15 students, with a sampling technique using the census or total sampling method. The results of data analysis show that there is a significant influence from the use of PAPISIM media, this is proven by the results of the hypothesis test which shows a significance value (Sig. 2-tiled) of 0.000 which is smaller than 0.005, so H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. In conclusion, PAPISIM learning media has proven to be effective in increasing understanding of the concept of symbiosis for class III students at SDN Ketegan.
