Application of the Discovery Learning Model to Improve Mathematics Learning Outcomes of Class XI Social Sciences

Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning process to improve the mathematics learning outcomes of students in class XI IPS SMA Persada Pebenaan for the 2020/2021 academic year through the application of the Discovery Learning learning model. Collecting data involves observing the activities of teachers and students in action. This classroom action research consists of two cycles, each consisting of 3 meetings and one repetition. By applying the Discovery Learning model with a scientific approach, students must be more active in discovering concepts and materials to increase student learning activities. It was proven that the number of students who achieved KKM increased from cycle I to cycle II. In cycles I and II, students who pass the KKM have a success rate of 20% and 70%, respectively. Based on the research findings, the mathematics learning outcomes of class XI SMA Persada Pebenaan can be increased in the material for sequences and series using the Discovery Learning model.
