Cooperative learning method through animal food board demonstration for improving student learning outcomes in natural science lessons

Improving student learning outcomes is one of the goals of education. This study aimed to determine the effect of cooperative learning through animal food board demonstration for improving student learning outcomes in learning Natural Sciences (IPA) for class 4 MI Salafiyah Cirebon City, West Java, Indonesia.
