Abstract

This article analyzes the problems of the Natural Sciences (Science) learning process for grade 6 students at SD Negeri 1 Sidomulyo. This research aims to identify the challenges faced in teaching science and their impact on students' understanding and motivation. The methods used in this research include direct observation in class, interviews, and distributing questionnaires to students to collect data about their experiences in learning science. The research subjects were 31 class VI students at SD Negeri 1 Sidomulyo. The research results show that students face difficulties in understanding science concepts due to several factors, including the lack of adequate learning facilities such as laboratories, not using learning media. In addition, the use of conventional and monotonous teaching methods contributes to low student engagement and interest in lessons. Students feel bored with approaches that are not varied, which hinders their learning process. , This article recommends implementing more interactive learning methods, such as project-based learning and practical experiments. Apart from that, the importance of improving learning facilities and infrastructure is also emphasized to support a better learning process.
