Abstract—This study aims to improve student learning
outcomes by applying VideoScribe’s Sparkol media. This study
uses a type of classroom action research. This classroom action
research went through two cycles in which the researcher acted
as an observer. Each cycle consists of planning, implementing,
observing and reflecting. The research subjects were Grade IV
students. Data collection techniques are carried out by
observation and learning achievement tests. Data were analyzed
using descriptive analysis. The findings obtained in Cycle I
indicate that the actions taken have not been successful. This is
evidenced by the absorption of students who have not reached
the expected completeness criteria. After reflection and
implementation of Cycle II, the action shows an increase. This
can be seen after the learning outcomes test shows that
students’ absorption has reached the expected minimum
mastery. Based on these findings it can be concluded that
VideoScribe’s Sparkol media can improve student learning
outcomes in elementary schools and it is recommended to be
applied on an ongoing basis in learning activities to hone
students’ cognitive intelligence so as to obtain maximum
learning outcomes.
