ABSTRAK
Tujuan penelitian ini adalah: (1) mendeskripsikan penerapan langkah-langkah pendekatan Saintifik dengan media realia, (2) mendeskripsikan peningkatan hasil pembelajaran IPA tentang gaya pada siswa kelas V SDN 2 Banjurpasar tahun ajaran 2014/2015, (3) mendeskripsikan kendala dan solusinya.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian tindakan kelas kolaboratif dengan tiga siklus. Tiap siklus terdiri atas perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah siswa kelas V SDN 2 Banjurpasar berjumlah 23 siswa. Data berasal dari siswa, guru, observer, dan dokumen. Teknik pengumpulan data adalah dengan tes hasil belajar, observasi, pedoman wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Validitas data menggunakan teknik triangulasi sumber dan triangulasi teknik pengumpulan data. Analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis data kuantitatif dan kualitatif, meliputi: reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan atau verifikasi.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) langkah pendekatan saintifik dengan media realia yaitu: (a) mengamati dengan media realia, (b) menanya dengan media realia, (c) mengumpulkan informasi/eksperimen dengan media realia, (d) mengasosiasikan/ mengolah informasi dengan media realia, (e) mengkomunikasikan dengan media realia, (2) penerapan pendekatan saintifik dengan media realia dapat meningkatkan pembelajaran IPA tentang gaya pada siswa kelas V SDN 2 Banjurpasar tahun ajaran 2014/2015 terbukti dari persentase ketuntasa siswa pada siklus I = 82,1%, siklus II = 87%, dan siklus III = 100%, (3) kendala yang ditemui dalam pelaksanaan pembelajaran yaitu: (a) guru dan siswa masih beradaptasi dengan pendekatan Saintifik dengan media realia, (b) siswa kurang aktif dalam bertanya dan berpendapat (c) terdapat media yang sudah tidak layak dipakai untuk kegiatan percobaan, dan (d) siswa kurang teliti dalam percobaan, (e) siswa kurang memperhatikan pembelajaran. Solusi untuk mengatasi kendala tersebut yaitu: a) memberikan penjelasan secara detail kepada guru dan membiasakan siswa dengan penerapan pendekatan saintifik dengan media realia, (b) guru mengarahkan, memotivasi, dan memberikan penguatan siswa agar berani bertanya dan berpendapat, (c) memperbaharui media realia yang sudah tidak layak dengan media realia yang baru, (d) melaksanakan percobaan dengan teliti, dan (e) guru mengkondisikan siswa.
Simpulan penelitian ini adalah penerapan pendekatan saintifik dengan media realia jika dilaksanakan dengan langkah-langkah yang tepat dapat meningkatkan pembelajaran IPA tentang gaya pada siswa kelas V SDN 2 Banjurpasar tahun ajaran 2013/2014.

ABSTRACT
The objectives of the research are: (1) to describe the steps of Scientific Approach with realia media, (2) to describe the improvement of natural science learning about force at the fifth grade students of SDN 2 Banjurpasar in the academic year of 2014/2015, and (3) to describe the problems and solutions.
This study is a Collaborative Classroom Action Research that was conducted in three cycle. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subject of this research was 23 students of SD Negeri 2 Banjurpasar in the academic year of 2014/2015. The sources of data were obtained from students, teachers, observers, and document. The data collection technique was to test the results of learning, observation, interview, and documentation. The validity of the data used triangulation techniques sources and triangulation techniques data collection. The techniques of analyzing data were quantitative and qualitative techniques, consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and verification.
The results show that: (1) step of Scientific Approach with realia media were: (a) observe with realia media, (b) ask with realia media, (c) collect information/experiment with realia media, (d) associate/process information with realia media, (e) communicate with realia media, (2) the application of the Scientific Approach with realia media can improve natural science learning about force at the fifth grade students of SDN 2 Banjurpasar in the academic year of 2014/2015. It was indicated from the percentage of completeness of students in the first cycle was 82.1%, in the second cycle was 87%, and in the third cycle was 100%, (3) obstacles in the implementation of that learning were: (a) teachers and students were still adapting to the Scientific Approach with realia media, (b) students were inactive in asking questions and argue, (c) there were not suitable media to be used for the experiment, and (d) students were careless in the experiment, (e) students were not obey when learning. Solutions to overcome these obstacles, namely: a) provide a detailed explanation to teachers and familiarize students with the application of Scientific Approach with realia media, (b) the teacher directs, motivates, and provides reinforcement for students to dare to ask and argue, (c) change the realia media which is not suitable with the new one, (d) conduct experiments carefully, and (e) the teacher manages condition of students.
The conclusions of this research is the application of Scientific Approach with realia media if implemented with appropriate procedure can improve natural science learning about force at the fifth grade students of SDN 2 Banjurpasar in the academic year of 2014/2015.
