INTRODUCTION
Education is a way of obtaining knowledge consciously and planned.
Education is classified into three, namely formal education, non-formal education, and informal education. Formal education, namely participating in the teaching and learning process in schools structured and tiered, consists of primary education, secondary education, and higher education. Non-formal education is obtained from the learning process outside the school environment. Meanwhile, informal education is obtained from within the family and the environment, such as courtesy, morals, ethics, and others (Triyono, 2019). Everyone needs education to free himself or a nation from the pain of ignorance, poverty, and backwardness (Hendratmoko, 2018) Education in Indonesia currently uses the 2013 curriculum is identical to thematic learning and integrated learning. The concept of thematic learning is to use a theme to connect several subjects to add meaningful knowledge and experience to students (Setiadi, 2016). One theme is divided into four subthemes, and one sub-theme is divided into six lessons. Teachers are required to be creative in developing the lessons on the theme so that learning is not boring (Prastowo, 2019) A teacher's role, especially in formal education, is to educate, teach, guide, direct, motivate, train, assess, and evaluate students (Pianda, 2018).
Teachers must have skills in selecting and using teaching aids in delivering learning material. Teaching aids as a tool for teachers in delivering material so that students do not get bored when participating in teaching and learning activities (Purbaningsih, 2017).
The use of media or props can stimulate the focus of student learning.
Props are objects that are used to help the teaching and learning process. The use of teaching aids in the learning process can make teacher explanation methods more varied. (Hartati, 2010) The use of teaching aids can make students more active in participating in learning activities, demonstrate props and enthusiasm for learning (Purbaningsih, 2017) argues that the use of teaching aids can help teachers in delivering subject matter, can create a pleasant learning atmosphere for students, can motivate students to take part in learning.
Teaching aids aim to increase student motivation and learning outcomes through concrete teaching aids (Rahayu, 2018). The use of letter card props improves student motivation and learning outcomes (Sarimani, 2016). Besides that, the use of graphic props can also increase student learning motivation (Nomleni, 2018) Motivation to learn is a desire that arises from within and from outside a person. The strength and weaknesses of student participation in learning depend on how strong their motivation to learn. The stronger the student's motivation to learn, the stronger the effort and participation made in learning.
Conversely, if the motivation to learn is weak, the effort and participation in learning will be weaker. Learning motivation is very important to be improved, and this requires the role of various elements involved in the learning process both from students, teachers, and the learning environment. If teachers can create learning situations that exploit students 'abilities, student perceptions that learning is a boring learning activity will be lost, and learning objectives will be easier to achieve (Kusiah, 2015). Based on the observations described above, the researcher is interested in researching how teaching aids in increasing Class 1B students' motivation at the elementary school 027 Samarinda Ulu. In this study, the research subjects were class 1B teachers, five students from 1B class, and five parents of students from 1B class. The sample selection in this research was using the purposive sampling technique. Purposive sampling technique is a technique of sampling data sources with specific considerations that the person know best what we expect (Sugiyono, 2016) The subject's criteria to be researched in class 1B teachers who had used teaching aids when teaching. The criteria for student subject are students who participate in teaching and learning activities in class 1B. The criteria for parent's student are parents who understand their child's personality.

Based on the results of the interviews and document review above, it can be concluded that the types of teaching aids used by the teacher are twodimensional and three-dimensional visual types, namely pictures, origami paper, number cards, and types of audio props. Following the theory (Sumiharsono H., 2017), teaching aids are devices that can be seen by the eye and heard by the ear (Pane, 2017). The use of teaching aids by the teacher can increase student motivation. As explained in theory (Solichah, 2014) that the benefits of teaching aids in learning can make the teaching and learning process more motivated. Teachers and students, especially students, will feel happy, aroused, interested, and interested and willing to learn.
The learning motivation of grade 1B students is stated to be good. This can be proven by students' willingness to provide teaching aids from home, such as carrying origami paper and carrying seeds. Besides, students' efforts to improve unsatisfactory grades were evidenced by students asking questions about material that had not been understood and practicing doing questions given by the teacher. As for the focus of students during learning (Balfanz, 2009). It was proven by students listening, paying attention, not talking or playing much during learning, and students who had material notes. Students' enthusiasm in learning is then evidenced by the presence of good students and students' enthusiasm in demonstrating it directly. This is indicated by the results of collage work and flat shapes from origami paper made by students. Student behavior above that reflects a motivated attitude is reinforced by the theory (Darmadi, 2017) that individual behavior with learning motivation characteristics can be seen from students' seriousness in learning. Students' desire to provide the tools or learning resources needed, the seriousness of students in listening. Teacher's explanation, efforts to get the best results, and enthusiasm of students in following lessons.
Research conducted by researchers has proven that the use of teaching aids by teachers can increase student motivation. This is evidenced by students' willingness to bring props, students' efforts to improve poor grades. Students are more focused during learning and students who are enthusiastic in learning and demonstrate the use of teaching aids directly. This is following research (Purbaningsih, 2017)  This study's results are also following the research (Widiastuti, 2016) entitled the use of folding paper teaching aids to increase student motivation and learning outcomes in mathematics in the fraction concept of class iv at Elementary School Negeri 1 Harapan Rejo for the 2015/2016 Academic Year.
Folding paper props can increase student motivation and learning outcomes.
