Use of less diverse learning models and neglect of students' learning styles can lead to inferior social studies learning outcomes in elementary school children and a lack of classroom participation. This study examines how the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) learning model and learning styles affect fifth-grade social studies learning results in Primary School 2 Latihan Ambon. This experiment used a 2x3 factorial analysis and a posttest-only control group. All Primary School 2 Latihan Ambon pupils were studied, with 42 students divided into an experimental class (22 students) using the STAD model and a control class (20 students) using the TGT model, which stands for Teams Games Tournament, another cooperative learning model. A validated learning style questionnaire and learning outcome test were employed. Data was evaluated with a two-way ANOVA. The research findings showed that: (1) The STAD learning model had a significant effect on student learning outcomes (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05), with the average score of the experimental class (81.667) higher than the control class (63.267). (2) Learning styles have a significant influence on learning outcomes (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05), where students with visual learning styles achieved the highest score (84.400), followed by kinesthetic (69.800) and auditory (63.200). (3) There is a significant interaction between learning models and learning styles on student learning outcomes (Sig. 0.002 < 0.05). This study helps educators map student learning styles before choosing a model. These findings also support the STAD cooperative model's ability to boost primary school social studies material achievement.
