The low learning outcomes of third-grade students in the subject of Civic Education on the topic “Diversity Is Beautiful” as indicated by an average score of 65.2 and an achievement rate of 41.18% form the background of this study. This study aims to determine the effect of using the smart box as a teaching medium on improving student learning outcomes. The method used was a quantitative, pre-experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research participants were all 34 third-grade students, selected using total sampling. The research instrument consisted of 20 multiple-choice questions that had been tested for validity, reliability, difficulty level, and discriminative power. Data analysis techniques included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, a paired-sample t-test for hypothesis testing, and the N-Gain test. The results showed that the mean score increased from 69.56 to 87.35, with a significance level of 0.000 (<0.05) and an N-Gain of 0.61, which falls into the moderate category. In conclusion, the smart box medium has a positive effect on improving learning outcomes in Civic Education. Consequently, this medium can serve as a concrete and innovative alternative learning tool in elementary schools.
