This research examines the effectiveness of implementing concept maps and poster media in enhancing student learning outcomes in natural science subjects for fifth-grade students at Attufiq Palanro Elementary School in Barru. The study aims to assess the use of concept maps and posters in the context of natural science education at the primary school level. Additionally, it seeks to determine the differences in learning outcomes between concept maps and poster media among fifth-grade students. The research adopted a comparative experimental design, utilizing the non-equivalent control group method. The target population consisted of all fifth-grade classes at Attufiq Palanro Elementary School, with 76 students. The research sample included 20 students from Class V A and 20 from Class V B, selected using a multi-stage random sampling technique. Multiple-choice and essay tests were employed as instruments to assess student learning outcomes. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis techniques. The results obtained from the descriptive analysis indicate that the average learning outcome for students who utilized concept map media was 72.75, while the average outcome for students who used poster media was 80.8. The inferential analysis, including hypothesis testing and Levene's test, yielded a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.005, which is lower than the predetermined significance level of 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in learning outcomes between Class V A and Class V B.
