This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) subjects through the application of the Talking Stick learning model in class V of SDN 067245 Medan in the 2023/2024 academic year. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with two cycles including the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation, learning outcome tests, and documentation. The results showed that the application of the Talking Stick model significantly improved student learning outcomes. At the pre-cycle stage, the classical completion rate only reached 20% with an average score of 60.83. After the implementation of cycle I, the completion rate increased to 43% with an average score of 70.41. In cycle II, student learning outcomes reached a classical completion rate of 83% with an average score of 83. Observations of teacher and student activities also showed a significant increase from the sufficient category in cycle I to very good in cycle II. The application of the Talking Stick model is effective in creating an interactive, enjoyable learning atmosphere, and is able to encourage student activity and understanding. This study concludes that the Talking Stick learning model can be used as an alternative to improve student learning outcomes, especially in science subjects
