<![CDATA[The development of information and communication technology has driven educational transformation, one of which is through the utilization of chromebooks as a learning medium. This device has started to be actively used in elementary schools to support the learning process. This study aims to analyze students' interest in learning based on external factors through the use of chromebooks in learning Natural Sciences and Social Sciences (IPAS) in class V SDN Tanjung Jati 2 Bangkalan. This study is a descriptive qualitative research with 12 students as subjects, and three students were selected as main subjects through purposive sampling technique. Data collection techniques consisted of observation, open questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews, with validity testing through source triangulation. Analysis was conducted based on four indicators of learning interest, namely feelings of pleasure, interest, attention, and involvement. The results showed that the use of Chromebooks provided a positive stimulus to students' interest in learning. Students showed expressions of pleasure, increased focus, and interest in learning media. However, interest in IPAS content was still low, attention depended on the teacher's strategy, and student involvement was predominantly individual rather than collaborative. This study concludes that students' interest in learning can be fostered through external stimuli such as Chromebooks. However, its effectiveness highly depends on how teachers manage methods, create supportive classroom interactions, and present material in an interesting, meaningful, and relevant way to students' needs and characteristics.]]>
