<![CDATA[The teaching of Natural Sciences and Social Sciences (IPAS) plays a crucial role in helping students understand various natural and social phenomena in their surroundings. In the learning process, students’ focus is a key aspect because it can influence their ability to understand the material, follow learning activities, and participate actively. However, since every student has different characteristics, interests, and abilities, teachers need to select appropriate and engaging teaching methods. The use of varied, student-centered methods, supported by learning media, can create a more active learning atmosphere and help maintain students’ focus throughout the learning process. Therefore, it is important to examine teachers’ perceptions of effective teaching methods, as teachers play a direct role in planning and implementing classroom learning activities.
