Employing a descriptive quantitative design, the study involved all students at SDN Inpres Nebura, with a purposive sample of 14 grade 4 students. Data were gathered through questionnaires and documentation sheets. The findings reveal a notable improvement in learning achievement, as the mean score increased from 69.29 on the pre-test to 79.29 on the post-test. Additionally, the questionnaire results demonstrate that the majority of students expressed highly positive perceptions of the experimental method, with an average positive response rate of 99%.
