Efforts to Improve Student Understanding and Learning Outcomes through the Discovery Learning Learning Model

Abstract

To create an attractive learning atmosphere, a teacher needs an approach that is a discovery learning model in the learning process. The purpose of this study was to improve learning understanding and learning outcomes of Inpres Tompudau students in natural science learning material vegetative propagation of plants through the application of discovery learning models. The research method used is classroom action research consisting of planning, acting, observing, and reflecting through two cycles. Data collection techniques, namely observation, tests, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses qualitative and quantitative data techniques with indicators of success seen from an increase in the minimum completeness criteria (KKM) for science subjects for Grade VI students of SDN Inpres Tompudau Semester 1 of the 2019/2020 academic year. Students can be said to be completing individually in learning if they meet the specified KKM value standards if the specified KKM standard is 65 and the student exceeds that value then it can be ascertained that the student is complete, and classically 85% of the total is declared complete learning and 85% of the number stated an increase in understanding of learning. The results showed that the use of discovery learning models could improve the understanding and learning outcomes of Grade VI students of SDN Inpres Tompudau regarding the vegetative propagation of plants in the first semester of the 2019/2020 academic year.
