PENGARUH MODEL DISCOVERY LEARNING TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN IPAS KELAS IV SD

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of the Discovery Learning model on the learning outcomes of fourth-grade elementary school students in Science and Social Studies (IPAS). The study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational research design. The sample consisted of 30 fourth-grade students in Class IV A at SD Negeri 101886 Kiri Hilir, selected using total sampling. The research instruments included a learning outcomes test, questionnaire, observation, and documentation. Data analysis involved the normality test, correlation test, and hypothesis testing using a t-test. The results showed that the Discovery Learning model had a positive and significant effect on students’ learning outcomes. This was demonstrated by a correlation coefficient of 0.642, which was categorized as strong. Furthermore, the t-test results showed that the calculated t-value of 4.436 was greater than the critical t-value of 2.042, indicating that the alternative hypothesis (H?) was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Discovery Learning model had a positive and significant effect on the IPAS learning outcomes of fourth-grade elementary school students.
