The treatment applied to the experimental class is the scientific approach. the steps of learning activities with a scientific approach in this study are 1) Observing; 2) Asking questions; 3) Gathering Information; 4) Processing information and; 5) Communicating. The results of this study indicate that: 1) the application of using a scientific used in the experimental class is more effective than the control class; 2) the application of scientific learning has a significant effect on students' communication skills in integrated thematic learning in class IVB MIN 2 Sumenep. This is evidenced by the results of the t-test 2 Free Samples (Independent Sample Test). Where in the t-test 2 free samples (independent sample t-test) obtained the value of t count 3.347> t table 1.679, then Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted.]]>
