Abstract

The aim of this research is to improve the understanding of the concept of the change of object form on the fourth grade students of State Elementary School Tlogorandu 01 Klaten in academic year 2016/2017 by applying the learning model of Treffinger.

This research is in the form of Classroom Action Reseach (CAR) which was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four steps: (1) planning; (2) action phase; (3) observation; and (4) reflection. The subjects of study were teacher and students of fourth grade students of State Elementary School Tlogorandu 01 Klaten in the academic year 2016/ 2017 consisting of 30 students.
