In cycle II, the learning outcomes of students reached an increase indicating scores in the very good category of 37%, in the good category of 7%, in the moderate category of 22%, and in the bad category of 7%. The results of the implementation show that there was a significant increase in the learning outcomes of fourth grade students of SDN Tegal Gede 3 Jember. In cycle 1, there was an increase of 48% in learner completeness, which then increased to 70% in cycle II.
