This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of integrating a contextual learning approach based on the palm oil ecosystem combined with behaviorist reinforcement to enhance students' conceptual understanding of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) and active engagement in primary schools. This research utilized a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative data (concept understanding test scores) and qualitative data (classroom observations and in-depth interviews). The study was conducted at SD Negeri 030 Loa Kulu, Jonggon Jaya Village, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, focusing on 6th-grade students. The findings indicate that IPAS concepts become more concrete, relevant, and accessible when learning materials are directly connected to the surrounding palm oil ecosystem. Furthermore, positive behaviorist reinforcement (such as star points, verbal praise, and recognition) consistently increased active participation in group discussions from 40% to 80%, and students' confidence to ask questions increased from 15% to 75%. The mean score of conceptual understanding showed a significant rise from 30 (pre-test) to 80 (post-test). This educational innovation demonstrates that leveraging local environmental potential alongside structured behavior reinforcement serves as an effective and impactful learning strategy in plantation-area primary schools.
