Objective: This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Science subjects by implementing the Numbered Head Together (NHT) learning strategy in Grade IV of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Darul Hikmah Sidoarjo. Method: This research uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with the Hopkins model, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study are 30 students with a Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 75. Data collection techniques include tests, student activity observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis is both quantitative and qualitative. Results: The study shows an increase in student learning completion in each cycle. Pre-action completion was 76.67%. After implementing NHT in Cycle I, it rose to 83.33%. A more significant increase occurred in Cycle II, reaching 93.33%, achieving classical learning completeness. Novelty: The application of the NHT strategy effectively improves student learning outcomes, student activity, group cooperation, and creates a more enjoyable learning environment in elementary school Science education.
