Abstract

The study aimed to determine: (1) a significant difference in the use of image media and environment media to students’ achievement, (2) a significant difference between high students’ creativity and low students’ creativity to students’ achievement, (3) a significant interaction between the influence of using image media and environment media; and high and lower students’ creativity to students’ achievement in learning Natural Science. Type of the research is experimental. The research was conducted at the state elementary schools in Selogiri district. The population in this study was all the fifth grade elementary school students in the Selogiri district totaling 786 students consisting of 35 elementary schools. Sampling technique used in this study is multi stage cluster random sampling.

The accuracy and validity of achievement tests were examined by validity test and reliability test. The validity was tested by using the correlation formula of Karl Pearson Product moment and the reliability was tested by using Two Sides formula. The data analysis technique used was the prerequisite test (normality and homogeneity test) and Two Way of Variance Analysis (ANOVA). Based on the result, it can be concluded: (1) there are differences in the influence of the use of image media and environment media on the Natural Science learning achievement of the fifth grade students in the state elementary schools in Selogiri, it can be seen that the proceeds from Fo = 93, 476 > Fo, 05 = 4, 02, (2) There are differences in the influence of high students’ creativity and low students’ creativity on the Natural Science learning achievement of the fifth grade students in the state elementary schools in Selogiri (Fo = 158, 529 > Fo, 05 = 4, 02) and (3) there is an interaction between the influence of using image media and environment media; and high and lower students’ creativity to the students’ achievement in learning Science of the fifth grade students in elementary school in selogiri (Fo – 22, 927 > Fo, 05 = 4, 02).
