Abstract

This study was conducted to answer the problem of students' conceptual understanding ability in science or special terms in social studies learning and the low motivation of students to learn. In the 21st century, meaningful learning is increasingly important to implement, one of the effective media to achieve this goal is Educaplay, which allows students to learn interactively and enjoyably. This study aims to determine the effect of the Team Games Tournament type cooperative learning model assisted by Educaplay media on elementary school students' understanding of social studies concepts. This study uses a quasi-experimental method with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The subjects of the study were fifth grade students of SDN 4 Nagri Kaler in the 2024/2025 academic year. In the experimental class, the Team Games Tournament model was used with Educaplay media, while the control class used the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. The results of the study showed that there was an influence on understanding social studies concepts in students in the experimental class. This can be seen from the results of the regression test, which was 0.527 or 52.7%. Thus, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the Team Games Tournament learning model in improving students' conceptual understanding. This study recommends the use of interactive and technology-based learning models to create active and enjoyable learning.
