PENGARUH MODEL PEMBELAJARAN DISCOVERY LEARNING TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR IPAS SISWA KELAS VI MIS MUHAMMADIYAH PARAMBAMBE

Abstract

This study aims to understand the impact of the Discovery Learning paradigm on the learning outcomes of Natural and Social Sciences (IPAS) for sixth grade students at MIS Muhammadiyah Parambambe. The research methodology used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design using a control group design with pre-tests and post-tests. The sample consisted of two classes: an experimental class that used the Discovery Learning paradigm and a control class that used conventional learning methods. Data collection techniques included observation, writing, and interviews. Data analysis was performed using independent, normal, and homogeneity tests. The research findings showed that there was a significant increase in student learning outcomes when using the Discovery Learning paradigm compared to the control group. This model can increase the dynamics, creativity, and critical thinking skills of students in understanding IPAS material. Therefore, the Discovery Learning style is recommended as an effective strategy to improve the quality of learning and IPAS learning outcomes in elementary schools.
