<![CDATA[The background of this research is the teacher-centered social studies learning process, where the teacher uses the lecture method. This leads to students being less motivated in the learning process, resulting in them being less vigorous and actively asking questions during the delivery of learning materials. Efforts to fix this problem involve conducting action research. This study aims to improve the skills of teachers and student activities to improve learning outcomes in Social Sciences (IPS) for students in class VA of SDN 004 VA Bagan Besar.
